Metallic Gem

Again I used Metallic acrylic paint on a 10" X 8" stretched canvas. I applied thick coats of 2 shades of silver & then used pearlized metallic acrylic paints for the colors. This was a very difficult painting to do since the glare/shine off the silver made it very hard for me to see what I was painting. Obviously silver reflects light much more than the golds or the other colors. I hope that you enjoy “Metallic Gem”!

These metallics are great, it's a pity that they don't show their true colours on photos.

It is a very nice work Sharon, to bad the camera does not truly capture the brilliance and the color of this as it would have been great to see it as your eyes do.
