Practising Hinterglass

This week I practised the hinterglas technique, as it is quite difficult to get right. I found out that the numbers of the dial would be smudged by the second layer, and I did not get the colour transitions I wanted. Since the dial itself will be opaque (so as to hide the clockwork machinery), and I have therefore decided to paint the dial on canvas, and attach this to the plexiglass with spray glue. I started working on the background of the dial, and am quite satisfied with my result.
