I needed to make some changes to a couple of my Snitzels -
Yesterday I painted the green fabric, that was too bluish, with an overall wash of Cad Yellow Acrylic with GAC900 added, to the top one. The bottom one is how it looks today, with the lines zigzagged on.
It's definitely an improvement.
The next one I worked on is the Eyes. I thought it needed lines added to the 'eye' on the left. And as an experiment to see how it comes out I mixed some Matte Medium with a little water and some GAC900 to use as an adhesive to hold the batiks onto the canvas backing. I needed to put medium on the back of the fabric also when it started to bubble up. This made the black background show through, especially on the 'flesh' colored fabric. I'm hoping it won't be so obvious when it completely dries. I won't know until tomorrow.
The one on the top is the way it looked before...the one on the bottom is after I changed it. I do like the added lines to the 'eye', but I'm worried about losing the fabric color, I think some of it is the lighting I took the pictures under, too. I still might be able to fix it. Remember - this is an experiment. It's a learning process!
