I bought about twenty new paints and experimented with them for about four hours. I painted wings over and over on a peice of wood and never really got a color pattern that I really liked.
I painted her first with a dark blue dress and decided that I didn't really like it. Also, her face looked too angry. So I carved off the face and repainted it.
Shaving off her face rounded it too much. If I was to do this all over, I would give her more prominant cheek bones. It was late and I wanted to get her finnished. So, in desperation, I just started smearing the metalic acrylic paints on her wings and blended them together. I was quite pleased with how the wings turned out.
Well, for my first faerie effort I am moderatly satisfied. I learned a lot about how to improve my next one. First of all, I am going to use my daughter as a model and start her off in the position that I want.....
