I've used coffee grounds and nail polish but never shoe polish, Elton. Of course, I usually wear black shoes which may not make for a PC image. But then again, I might start trending...you never know. PS---I used the nail polish, Mom's, back in 1967 or 8 so my one-time experiment predates this very polished portrait.
I always enjoy finding new and different products to use in my paintings. Hadn't thought of shoe polish! Great idea ... gives your image an interesting finish. Admire your courage in taking things a step further and beyond!
