Trying for a new effect....

I am always trying out new techniques that I could potentially add to my bag of tricks.

The wood is River Bush Willow (Vaderlandswilg) which has a greeny/yellow look - not very attractive to my eye, hence the attempt at some colour treatment. We do not have much in the line of bleach (for paint effects) here in South Africa and I am trying a similar effect using pva paint. I do not think that the finished article will be so white as here in the pic but will post the finished article later. Comments on the affect, like/dislike will be appreciated and welcomed.
