Reply To: Blood Drop Effect: How?

I usually use a drop of heavy gel medium.  Put a drop on a plastic film and let it dry.  Peel it of, cut and shape if necessary and glue it to place.  Then continue to mold the shape or pattern by adding more gel on the glued piece to get a rounder shape.  You can paint it up afterward, but I’d mix the paint into the gel.  A few experiments with paint to gel ratio should help you decide the opacity.
