Here are the last two stages to complete this painting. I added white acrylic to the bleached painting, then started glazing and painting on top. It is a good idea to photograph the steps of your paintings for future reference. If you find you don't need them, it is easy to erase them. If you decide after the fact, that you wanted to document the steps, you can't go back!
Very little of the original bleached effect is left. Most likely it impacted the look of the finished painting, but it is pretty subtle. I'm going to keep on with this idea until I hit on the balance I am looking for. Can't quite say what it is, but I will know it when it shows up. The thrill of the hunt!

Very cool process and wonderful end result!
Myrna, this is a handsome piece. I look forward to seeing the results of your continued exploration. Thanks for the tip on photographing as you go along. I am learning to use acrylics and will be experimenting with different techniques, so the tips comes at a perfect time.
Wow! The result is amazing! After watching the steps in progress, I would not have that it possible to achieve such a subtle expression!
top stage looks like a ghost in some horror movie :)
whatever the experiment, the final, final came out prize worthy, think you should enter that one!
WOW! This is stunning, really pulls you in.
Your technique creates a wonderful illusion; a ghostlike quality to the painting. Wonderful!

WOW!! What a great piece! I am going to adopt your idea of photographing the process...but I need to re-read your technique...I really like what you are doing!!
