Astoundingly great paintings Jenny & Natalie

Love all the colours and the movement. Can't wait to have a go at this one, love the effects created with the clingwrap.
Absolutely brilliant lesson Dennis...not sure how this will transfer into my portraits though....

I`ve tried this too, I find something well but I think I`ll take my time to try once more. It is pretty fun.

Here is my abstract using the alcohol and salt. I was disappointed in the reaction of the alcohol. It wasn't anywhere near what Dennis got.

I also wasn't sure which way to turn it. $:-\$ I flipped it around several times and finally decided I liked this way better. You decide.

This was using the saran wrap. The colors were really bright before I put on the plastic but then they came out kind of muddy when I took it off.

Jenny, Natalie, and Harold--I really like all your paintings. All so different with such vivid colors. Very nice.

I think Dennis said that whatever he used was close to 100% alcohol-definitely a much bigger reaction to normal drugstore stuff.

I must have missed that part. All I heard was alcohol. Maybe a little "red eye" or some "shine" would work better. Maybe a couple of shots would help my painting also.

Harald, I see flags, golf clubs, a howling wolf, a bat with wings spread, a rocking horse and a few other things. Good job! Fun!
