My painting from Jacqueline Sullivan's workshop- out of order- the middle one shows the lettering that was put on first.  It was acrylic paint and supposed to be permanent, but some washed off mainly at the top.  The we added paint to obscure some of the lettering as it was supposed to be "a part" of the painting which I liked but would like to have had more show up.  The larger quote was put on and then the redish paint added in the counters to finish it -and the nice stencil added more interest too.
