In these artworks I have started to experiment with combining glaze finishes too, so any one artwork uses gloss, satin and matt glazes in the same piece.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”85″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ content_parallax=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”303807″][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading]<\/p>\n
