I enjoy you so much. Trees are what I love to do when I paint. I don't worry about cracks I filled them in with complimentary colors or gold. After all that Japanese find beauty in things that are broken and lined with gold!
Thanks, Saskia! I doubt it’s the alcohol, it had plenty of time to dissolve and other artists have had no issues with this method. I plan on running some tests to determine the cause 💜
Your Color scheme is gorgeous… so the pigments were mixed in alcohol and Owatrol? I think the alcohol may have caused the splintering / cracking alcohol creates great effect splashed or sprayed ( Gerda Lipski uses it for effects ) but actually mixing in as part of paint base it will react to all the other paints that are acrylic and make them crack ❤❤❤ your final results 😊
Thank you, Leslie! I only dissolved the pigments in alcohol, and it had plenty of time to evaporate… But I won’t know for sure until I’ve run some tests 💕
@@AnnukkaArtStudio mica powder does not dissolve I’ve bend working with that material 27 years. It simply needs to be mixed well in a binder Liquitex/ Golden / colourarte all offer acrylic mediums ( not pouring mediums ) that the mica can be mix into first A dash of pouring medium A dash of Owatrol you’d be good to go If your not sure who I am I’m the product developer of the colourarte brands I created the PrizmPour That macaw color is beautiful Mix it that way you. Will be ticketed with the results There are some TLP the neons that are not mica based that don’t break down that easy and I’m familiar with Mina’s work she’s had good luck with those Quite frankly if the neons were ground down more mortal and pestle/ or plates like golden uses it would disperse easier But the mix into alcohol with the neons and using mica in the same way is not interchangeable A good acrylic medium and the TLP will hold up And give you stunning results with no risk of a reaction Have a great evening 💕
@@Leslieohnstad_colourarte_mama thanks for the explanation! I should add that I was meant to say disperse, not dissolve 😄 Very early morning + English not being my first language is not always a good combo lol
I’m So glad I’ve found your work on TH-cam! I wondered why you put a base coat on snd then use the titanium buff with which to swipe before using your bright swipe colours? Thanks 😃
Thanks, Christine! I haven’t tried it yet, I can’t seem to find it here in Finland. I did another one after this, with paints that I know and use all the time. It’s my best one yet and I had zero issues with drying this time. If you fancy seeing it, it’s premiering on Sunday ❤️
this is beautiful Annukka. Watching this creation was really cool. That pen did wonders for fixing the cracks. 😀😀😀
Thank you, Brian! You mentioned a Sunday video, hope you’re in the train.
Annukka, Your tree is lovely. The colors and composition are striking… and like you I love the dendrites!
Thank you so much, Rebecca! Those dendrites sure were a happy accident 💕
The tree is amazing! That was a cool way to deal with the cracking and crazing.
Thanks so much, Deborah!
Absolutely, unique and beautiful
Thank you!

Thank you so much for such kind words! Yes, Kintsugi is a familiar concept from my goldsmithing days ❤️
Another stunning tree my friend, loved watching you create👍❣️😁🇨🇦👩🎨
Thank you so much, Sandra 🇨🇦🇫🇮🥰💕
Stunning!! Beautiful colors! ❤❤❤
Thanks so much, Janese! ❤️❤️❤️
So cool! Liked the way you take the cracks and embelish the piece 👌
Thanks so much! 😊
Beautiful Save!
Thanks, Shelli!
These colors 😍😍😍 So sorry I missed your premiere Annukka
Thank you Julie! No problem at all, I hope everything is good over there 💖🥰
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! ❤️
Really beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
It turned out beautiful 🥰 Maybe the alcohol caused cracking, maybe next time try a little varnish to dissolve the pigments🙂

Love it!❤

Thank you so much, Caroline! I did that so I could achieve the highlights in the tree branches ❤️
Gorgeous 👏👏👏 The parts you have fixed 🤷♀️ They look as if you have used crackle paste 😄
Yes! Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful, have you tried using the GAC800 in your paints? It is supposed to prevent the cracking in thicker paints.
