organic over organic

I carved some grooves into a piece of ply that I rescued on its way to the dump. Applied a layer of acrylic. sanded it back, wetted the surface unevenly, then splashed some acrylic ink. Acrylics don’t tend to hold their colour too well, especially on an absorbent surface such as wood. I’ll let it dry and see what it looks like. I may be able to recover the vibrancy with oils once dry. I like the way that the paint follows the grooves that I carved into the surface. I need to work on this approach a bit to figure out how to get the organic behaviour while retaining the colours.
