I use a method much like batik to do this kind of work. It’s a very rigid way of getting loose results.
BTW, I love your work.

Beginners luck. Just kidding. Very beautiful. Looks like you painted over gesso to get the special effect. You are very talented.
JennyArmitage replied about 6 hours ago
No, I haven’t used gesso yet. Used removable mask and literally poured paint across the paper. After the mask came up I finished the details.
