i used watered down acrylic like watercolor for the octopus and sand dollar. i thought that would make them look more dream-like and fluid.
if you look closely you can see a clear stamp almost- in the middle right of the canvas. the light is hitting the painting just right in that spot. i actually stenciled a wallpaper pattern over the background of the painting with a gloss modge podge. it was more of an experiment than anything. it creates a cool effect that you won't notice at first. again, i was hoping this would give the painting a more magical, dreamy quality.
