Wow, what a great surface, not unlike that of a stained glass window...

Definitely stained glass-ish.  Lovely.  What medium is this and how did you get the effect?

Hi Lynne... I was using store-bought tints... you know... the kind that you can buy in a
house-paint store in plastic bottles used for tinting house paint... it can be mixed with oils or
practically any other medium as it has no added binders... I just used it with water and then
coated it with varnish... on canvas... it dries extremely quickly... and has the big advantage of being very inexpensive... it can also be used as an under-painting for oils....
