Wow wow wow!!! How about this new Wise Owl Paint finish I'm calling "Deep Ocean Stone"! Excited to finally share the pictures to truly show off all the details, texture and color within this piece. The name came to me the final night I worked on it... remembering a cruise I went on with the family, watching the sun set over the horizon and looking down at the water... If you’ve ever been out on the open ocean and looked down at the waves stirring and crashing around you in that deep, deep blue, it looks much like the final finish of this piece. And even adding that lil hint of shimmer, gave the look of that sunset glinting off the top ever so slightly And having the textured look from the Saltwash finalizes it’s unique look of stone at the same time. So something solid and rigid, but with the look of flowing freedom and sophistication. If you've been following along with peeks of this piece you know the steps to get to this final finish I learned from a friend in the biz, Chelsea, from Apple Blossom Way. Although I've used Saltwash and made some textured finishes in the past, it was great to see how another incredible artist created and then in-turn use that knowledge to make something beautiful myself. So with that said, I won't be walking through the steps as I would normally, out of respect for Chelsea and the time she's put into her Classes. So if you'd like to learn how to create her Signature Stone Finish, and maybe make it your own as I have, you can find her classes here;
