Loosestrife

Loosestrife: beautiful invasion, Violet, ON Canada – 12 x 12 inches acrylics, crackle medium on canvas, frame unnecessary.
Store-bought canvases are really slippery, so I’ve started using crackle medium to give the paint something to hold onto. It also is great for subtle textures and building layers of color. For more texture, the medium can be manipulated while wet. It softens the paint layer/s below and can be scratched, lifted or molded into shapes with a brush.
