bird of paradise, part III

I just realised I never posted the outcome of the impasto work. Well, here it is (lol, this was done a few months ago now). The painting itself is not technically finished, I still want to do a lot of refining. I have been procrastinating with that because I need to buy some finer brushes and have had other priorities. Anyway, I'm glad I used the impasto gel because it has added another dimension. One day it will get finished! :)


It's a bit hard to see the impasto effect at a distance, so here's a close up (sorry, it's a kinda crap photo, but you get the idea!) The white stuff is modelling compound and the clear stuff is impasto gel.
