Opacity “tiled like a mosaic” over Transparency
Added 2025-05-29 13:00:00 +0000 UTCAs I apply the 2nd pass overtop the ébauche, I try to “tile” it like a mosaic. The palette has to be set up just right to achieve this. Premixing gradient strings is necessary. I use sable rounds for a small work this small. It’s 9x12 inches. I will leave the gloves more transparent to juxtapose the opaque mask. When setting up my gradient scale on my palette, I try to relate it to the conceptualized gradient ark that I’m building on my painting. I work area by area.
