8th Lesson - Marylyn Mayo
Time to do the jewellery! I used Art Spectrum Gold to begin with. When you add other colours to this gold paint, it tends to lose its metallic look; so I paint in the gold straight from the tube first, then to darken I add Ultramarine Blue, and then for highlights I mix the gold with white. When I have done this, I add the gold here and there (straight from the tube again) to reinforce the gold look.
