Feather necklace

Post by RoseVH on Mon Aug 01, 2011 11:59 pm

Hi everyone,
I am finally posting a pic, so please be kind (but truthful too!) And it's not even a face painting pic, its a pic of a leg painting (large canvas, my leg!) that I did the other night, playing around and copied a design on my daughter's t-shirt!
Any suggestions for improvement are gratefully accepted!
Rose

PS: I hope the pic size is ok....as I said, first time posting one so forgive me if I've done it wrong! Embarassed

Love the green. Is it TAG pearl? I agree a bot of white would make it pop. I love t-shirts for inspiration, I've jotted down many design ideas at festivals based around cool tees - now if you could get your daughter to let you paint it on her neck....

I love them! Oh and another vote for a tiny bit of white to pop. It's amazing what a little bit of white will do.

Cool, white it is! Makes sense now you've all said it! And I might need to hold my daughter down to paint her neck, but I might try and convince a friend just so I can see what it looks like. Thanks xo

I really like the look of the green one... and agree with white highlights.

For the others, I see what you were going for. Maybe try using a flat brush, start at the stem of the feather and pull out, pulling up from the skin in a wispy fashion. Does that make sense? Then you can go back with shadows and highlights with a small round brush.

When all else fails... really study a real feather.
