Experimented with photo processing chemicals working on photographic paper and using a brush dipped in the chemicals at varying strengths to create light and dark areas. In other pieces looked at casting light and shadow with this technique, see these below.

medium = PVA acrylic paint mix
_
For a fluid medium to work with I combined PVA with a black acrylic paint to get the right fluidity and a raised finish. I then used a knife to drip and scrape on parts of the drawing. Through a series of paintings I explored with this method how much control you needed to regain to keep a legible and recognisable image.
