Thanks, I use alot of paint thinner and a big brush to do the blends. Oil paint makes gradients fun.
Yah, beautiful gradients, yo. The graphic elements with gradients looks great! If I had extra extra extra money I'd ask if "It Was Raining Stars" was for sale (cuz it'd cost like $400 extra just to send it over), because it's a nice piece but also that horizontal-line type flaw in the center is some sort of juxtaposition of smooth/flat and *gash*, which I suppose life is sort of like. Because life is not perfect, but it can still be beautiful.
thanks! about that flaw - that horizontal line is the result of poor/cracked priming of the canvas. It's good to hear it doesn't ruin the piece. I've convinced myself I'm ok with it at this point.
