And I was about to say that the paint dries pretty quick before I realized the joke. D'oh! ;)Gene Gonzaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11934517610414260010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989720104825417666.post-35907393196568979472009-01-23T08:14:00.000-05:002009-01-23T08:14:00.000-05:00Thanks for the "Inside The Artist's Studio" segmen...Thanks for the "Inside The Artist's Studio" segment Gene. We always appreciate the thinking and planning that goes on behind your work. Are you using any references of wet skin or fabric? Or do you instead rely on your "mind's eye?" However the process plays out, the illusion of a wet Phantom Lady is becoming very convincing. It must be sometimes hard for you to decide when she is "dry" enough for the next layer of paint! :)Royce Throwerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156766579998174592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989720104825417666.post-2107456241685647062009-01-22T22:08:00.000-05:002009-01-22T22:08:00.000-05:00Thanks guys.

To answer your question Lud, seconded by Gary, I am just using white acrylic paint, thinned down with water and a brush to paint the trails of water on her body. Working along the way I think gravity would pull the water. I do vary the pressure of the brush to make the paint lighter as I go over the high points of her arm. More light would hit the high points so the "water" would be more transparent. Thanks for the question!Gene Gonzaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11934517610414260010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989720104825417666.post-39432576760069350882009-01-22T21:59:00.000-05:002009-01-22T21:59:00.000-05:00Gene,After looking at the latest edition of Wet an...Gene,<BR/><BR/>After looking at the latest edition of Wet and Wild Phantom Lady, I had the same question as LUD.....we likes to knows the tricks of the trade!<BR/><BR/>GaryGary M.
