11x11" Metallic Mirage Original Acrylic Painting

A metallic mirage in acrylic painting is an illusion of depth, shimmer, and reflection created with metallic or iridescent paints, mediums, and specific techniques. The effect evokes the captivating, dreamlike appearance of a mirage but with the added reflective qualities of metal. The foundation of this technique is the use of paints containing reflective particles, like mica or aluminum flakes. Iridescent mediums can also be used to give a pearlescent sheen to any color of acrylic paint.  Artists use a variety of techniques to create the illusion of a seamless transition, rather than a flat, glittery surface.

Always Remember: The beauty of handmade lies in their imperfections!!
