Originally I painted them a antiqued gold...but it looked like they should have been in Liberace's home. So I began to play. I did several...ok...many washes of antiqued bronze and metallic black. Finally got satisfied with the finish. Often when you see pictures of angels, their wings are highlighted in pink and white. So...I started to play again. I had purchased some pale pink and white crackle paint, so I decided to try that. I did a wash of the pink and white and then highlighted many areas with just the pink. I didn't get any of the crackling that I expected...but still luv the color.
Believe me...I'm no Picasso...but I luv the way these angel wings turned out. How about you? Would luv to hear your comments on my latest project.
I'm no picasso either. I'd say the pink wash is what sealed the deal. It looks lovely as a finished product! I would've loved to see the crackle effect, but it also looks great as is.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that your sister is able to stay for two whole weeks! That's awesome, and I'm hoping you get a much needed breather of all of the ongoing stuff. It's always nice to have family help out. =0)
