With a little bit of Red, Yellow then White and Orange paint a master impression of bejewelled simplicity has come into being.
Step by Step
Had I painted this effect the steps I would have progressed with would be
- The red around the eyes.
- The outer plain red of the necklace layer.
- The yellow of the necklace.
- A white band around the top of the necklace yellows.
- Then worked the yellow out from around the eyes - over forehead, cheeks and nose.
- Put aside the yellow brush -do not wash the colour off.
- Reapplying another set of reds in layers to the face while the yellow was still damp and working from complementarity bottom level layers upwards.
- With a slightly smaller brush and full red paint apply as a lace effect directly around the eyes.
- bottom first of both eyes.
- As brush mixes with yellow you are working to completing the eye effects.
- using the same red brush [mixed with yellow from the face application] the completed the red paint brush sized dobs around the necklace would be done. The yellow/ red mix that was still on the paintbrush is used for effect between the red and yellow layers at the front of the necklace.
- Start at the upper chests middle zone and evenly work your way out until no more combined paint on the brush.
- As 'dobbing' occurs revolve the brush around to evenly use the paint up.
- Go back to yellow brush and cover it with orange. Again working your way from the middle zone apply the orange allowing the appreciation of yellow to evolve through.
Simplistic full brushes of paint dabbed around in concentric circles until the desired necklace effect was completed.
