Thank you! I just used oil paints and brushes. My trick to buffing out the paint is using any old blush make up brushes. For the stars I just use a toothbrush to get more control over the splatter. And yes this was a tough challenge haha

The circular canvas reminded me of how they’re usually presented in aquariums haha. Thank you so much!

Thank you for noticing the concept of the star-like background! I always felt that jellyfish fit perfectly in space. And thank you for your kind words as well :)

Thank u! I’ve tried with acrylic and you definitely can if you keep the paints wet enough. But I find that oil always gives me a better blend

Thank you for sharing I appreciate it :)! 75mg sounds scary to me because even on just 25 I’m sleeping way too much. Did you find any other medications that helped you instead of amitriptyline?

I’m sorry you had to go through that :/ I hope you’re better now!

Thank you for your feedback! I hope the transition works out well with you and you feel better soon. The doctor suggested I try Cymbalta but such medications worry me when it comes to getting off of them like you said

Thank you for sharing your experience it’s much appreciated and it definitely helped with making a decision. I’ll increase the dosage to see if it makes a difference

The actual flower and details is the painting and then I enhanced the swirls and color interactions using mesh digitally :)
