Wow, nice Gina! You've inspired me to do some doodling. I've been practicing the rose. This jewelry is gorgeous. Any special tricks to doing it? With the shading maybe?

I just use a dry brush for the shading. When you paint a bold line, take your dry brush and pull the color from that bold line. Here is a pic of a necklace I tried today! This was by far the most haardest thing I have ever painted on me! Had a really hard time directing the paintbrush in the right direction! I didn't have any silver, so I used white for the viens of the wings, would have looked better if I toned the white down with maybe some yellow or gold! But anyways it was just for practice!  |

Gina, this is really nice. You are so good, that I could really see you being one of the instructors at the conventions one day. Thanks for sharing.  |

Thank you ever so much for the wonderful words! I would love to teach classes! In the past I have taught classes on lettering and tole painting about 20 years ago, also I taught several classes on Basket weaving! I have thought of advertizing in my area, to teach simple face painting. To my knowledge I am the only one around my city for many many miles, so I don't know if I would be cutting off my own nose, sort of speaking! But there are no two painters of any type of art that paints the same way, so maybe I would be ok!

Well here is a diamond! A really BIG DIAMOND! First time doing this! It was really pretty easy! I started with a circle and just started running lines threw it, and it came out pretty decent I think! Wish I had one this big! I would melt down the gold and sell the diamond! Wow I think I would be set for awhile!  |

Oh My Goodness. This stuff is fantastic, Regina!
Does it take a long time to do each one?

Thank you ever so much! No it didn't really take to long at all. Probley just the first one took about half an hour to figure out what to do, after that it goes pretty fast. Here is a couple pics that I did last night, just doodling around! Took maybe just under 10 minutes to do each one.   |

You're Doing It. You're creating your illusions with Just Paint.
Bravo ~
While I don't give myself unnecessary 'Rules' anymore,
I still admire the things that demonstrate the Purist Values that I had as a beginning Arteeest.
No rhinestones. No stencils. Just Paint.

Regina, On the diamond, how did you keep the white from getting Muddied up?
