I'm always willing to try new things. A friend of mine from my Artist Way group told me of this process of applying paint with baby wipes of all things. "Forget the brushes!" I thought, "Let's give this a try!" On a 3/4 inch thick piece of plywood (8 in x 10 in) I used the baby wipe to apply two different colors of acrylic paint. and within 5 minutes, I had created a sunset (or I suppose it could be turned upside-down for a sunrise). The moisture of the wipe helped spread the paint on the untreated wood. The grain still shows through to give it that ethereal look. I also applied paint to the sides of the board for a more completed look without a frame.
