Almost done



So... it's not quite finished. I used acrylic gel medium on the yin/yang, slathered on thick. Then I added texture and let it dry several days (following a video I saw). The only thing I am not happy with was the use of charcoal, so I will leave that out next time. The rings I wanted to look a little like tie-dye, so I thinned the paint and blew it with a straw. I still need to add black between the colors of the yin/yang, fill in the circles, and clean it up a little around the circle. But Wyanne at www.wyanne.com posted once about happy mistakes. And, so if I look at all I learned from doing this painting, I am happy. I'll update when it's finished.

Robyn,

I really like what you're doing with this, and especially the rings -- they add originality and freshness to the symbol.

Keep creating!
Geoff
