| Acrylic. I wet the 'shell' part and added purple, green, and brown. I used a dark brown for the stem. It needs the details which I will add next week. |

| Gouache. I wet the 'shell' part and added purple, green, and red-brown. I used a dark brown for the stem. It needs the details which I will add next week. |

| Gouache. I added little details, I added some highlights and cleaned up the edges of the petals with white. I added red tips to the leaves and red details to the petals. I brought the dark down a bit (may need to do it a bit more). I would do the same with the acrylic version. |

| Acrylic on canvas panel (possible background for the old car). I wet the panel, dropped in color, added salt (fine salt and large salt). Add salt when it's shiny, but not a puddle for best results. |

| Gouache on masonite (possible background for the old car). The masonite was primed with Kilz 2 primer first. Then I added a bit of water and Absorbent Ground (Golden Acrylic product). I wet the surface, dropped in color, and added salt (fine salt and large salt). Add salt when it's shiny, but not a puddle for best results. |

| Acrylic on a canvas panel (possible background for the egret). I wet the panel, dropped in color, and laid the plastic wrap on the wet paint moving it around a bit until I liked the textures. Allow this to dry before removing. |

| Gouache on a canvas panel (possible background for the egret). Gouache on a canvas panel is unusual, this was a canvas panel that says it is good for gouache, most are not. I wet the panel, dropped in color, and laid the plastic wrap on the wet paint moving it around a bit until I liked the textures. Allow this to dry before removing. |

| Acrylic. Rubber cement. This is after 2 layers of rubber cement and paint. Start by loosely dribbling rubber cement, allow to dry, paint a light color, dry, dribble more rubber cement, dry, paint more color, dry, and so on. I do 3-5 layers and then remove the rubber cement. |
