Hello There Friends!
It's been a while since I've posted 🤦 ~ forgive me. I'm working on some 12x12 seascapes today. I used liquid clear instead of the usual liquid white on this Bob Ross painting and it seems to have yellowed the sky just a little bit, however, I think it still works.
What do you think?
