  • Description
    I saw a guy doing a modified NWT Technique using color instead of just white and black paint. I just wanted to see if it could be done on wood. Obviously, it's not the NWT technique; it just uses the basic idea of layers of paint etched off to expose the paints at different depths. So one image is a before epoxy, and one is after. Using Xart, I came up with this image, loaded it into XCS, edited it, saved as an SVG, exported ran it through Imag-r, and used Norton white tile painted black.
