Franken art! This started as an attempt at 'fizzy art', which I thought would be fun for the grandkids. Fizzy art is made with baking soda and vinegar colored with baking soda. Like previous attempts at creating dendritic patterns with alcohol ink, it looked ok when wet but after it dried, it had diffused into a mess. So, while the grands did conventional painting, I covered most of it with a mix of brushed paint and acrylic pouring. Only the sky remained from the fizzy art stage. I was happy enough with the waves and let it dry. It still looked OK after it dried and the next step was an acrylic clear coat., This was needed badly as the fizzy art section remained powdery. Well, after the clear coat dried overnight, the underlying color under the waves bled through. Oh well. As it turned out I like the sky the best.
