Gloss


My tutor recommend to me that I use a gloss on my acrylic studies to finish the paintings. Here I have experimented to see the effects of the gloss by only painting half the image with the layer. It is clear that this will be a useful medium as it gives the paint a shine that reflects the mood I want to create as well as the water. The way the light bounces off the image shows how important this finish is on the final outcomes.
I feel like it mutes the colours slightly and helps them to blend together. I love that the image in itself is becoming more like a memory and reflection.
