high flow acrylics on a watercolor postcard.

i've been struggling with this for awhile. i did a few that i almost posted, but changed my mind at the last minute. i'm much happier with this one.
the high flow paints are really good for mixing colors. i wanted to go for some strange ones. usually i painted a little section with one color and while it's still wet i put i tiny dot or two of another color you want to mix it with. there should be a fairly big contrast between the two. the colors flow into each other and make interesting colors. it's hard to control in smallish places. that's also why the colors aren't mixed smoothly or carefully.

i thought of distressed because of the silly "distressed" jeans, the kind they ruin in advance! i thought colors and effects that look sort of like those.
