Well, what can I say? I almost had a disaster, having painted my little Angel and fairly satisfied with her I took a photo and uploaded to photoshop. At this point it became glaringly obvious I had got my proportions a little off kilter! Poor child looked a little like Quasimodo with a misplaced hump! So with the little help of some extra molding paste, gesso and a little white acrylic I think I successfully rescued her! Then I decided to experiment with my new pot of fluid medium, which I had been told I could use with a tiny amount of acrylic color to make a glaze. I wanted to give the white feathers on the wings a hint of gold to give them more 'oomph' so on it went! I had fun. I wondered if it would give her hair that little bit of something too. Amber has beautiful golden brown hair and I couldn't seem to get it exactly how I wanted with watercolor pencils alone. I actually got so carried away I gave her dress a very thin glaze of gold too. Just hope I haven't overdone it! So work in progress mkII
Ooh she's lovely Rona! I really like the gold glaze, and the feathery wings. Don't think you've overdone it at all! x
