I use Golden Fluid Acrylics, but you can use any acrylic and add a glazing medium to get more of a translucent effect (or even a little bit of water). I achieved this effect by first using a few background stamps, then layering paint, ink, stamps and gesso. The key to backgrounds like this is layer, layer, layer. I'm not sure if Monica still has the class for this painting, but it was free and she does cover backgrounds. Click on the hands and heart link and sign up. It costs you nothing and it's a wonderful place to learn new techniques, see lots of inspiration and meet other creative friends!
