I decided to experiment a bit with this one. I used isopropyl alcohol to dissolve droplets of paint on the canvas; I started by using the alcohol drops just on the rocks, then expanded them to the rest of the canvas.

  2. Thanks, ivana! Using the palette knife to create textured backgrounds has really helped me to be more spontaneous with my paintings.

    I visited your web site - your work is exquisite!
