The canvas is too thick to back light. It’s a standard art panel, not stretched on a frame (which would be really cool to try)

Stunning result! 
Were you surprised at how well that came out? Occasionally an effort results in product that far exceeds your vision. There is a deep joy in that. 
I agree the defocus in the depth of field comes through perfectly on the foreground grass! Great work man.

I was. It really was one of those “I wonder what would happen if I…” kind of things. The more the engrave appeared, the more excited I got. That Samurai is such a beautiful image to work with.

That is so cool!! Can’t wait to see what else you make with this technique. Not that I think about it, I have some blank canvases, and some spray paint. . . .
