Shine


This painting is about not letting people and other things steal your shine. I used an acrylic paint thinner instead of water this time and I found that It makes for much better blending without dulling the colors. The hands are something new for me and once I did the first one the other two came fairly easy. At first I was worried that the hair would get lost in the background, but once I darkened the background and used white hightlights the separation came.
