More terra sig .. this time on the less groggy-crank.

Wanted to start with a white base, so used a thin wash of EPK.

Used nickel oxide and manganese oxide alternates .. bubbled up on first application. Think it was because I didn't let it dry for long enough, but I quite liked effect so let it be.

Some patches became bare (one in particular) .. again, due to lack of time between coats. I think this will be less apparently after more (adequately dried) coats, but also considering letting it be.

Reminds me of scar tissue.
