But I've found on my personal FB page and the business one that posting in progress shots keeps people interested. They're really keen on seeing how something is created!

AND I can see why you have an iridescent paint affliction - it's right up there with my Stickles disorder - but a girl just can't help being attracted to those pretty shiny things! Beautiful work. ;)) xo<br />Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492839042151189777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7482477015929524414.post-40358933224633960572012-10-17T12:58:20.426-04:002012-10-17T12:58:20.426-04:00Wow she's gorgeous Kyra, you've done a gre...Wow she's gorgeous Kyra, you've done a great job! I tend to keep paintings hidden until they're cooked because any comments half way through stay in my mind and ruin any spontaneity I might have had. :) Personally I like the texture but if you want to make it smoother, I'd either use layers of gesso, sanded when dry. I did this for the face of 'The Messenger' as I wanted it to look serene in contrast to the background's texture.<br />Jess x x<br />Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17593348601123003194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7482477015929524414.post-20703697991333843062012-10-17T06:38:14.945-04:002012-10-17T06:38:14.945-04:00Actually, I thought about it, but haven't (tru...Actually, I thought about it, but haven't (truth is, I actually don't have any onhand!

The detail on her scales is absolutely stunning!<br />As to canvas board texture, have you tried scraping a layer of gesso on to it before use, to fill in the surface? :D XXXGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08814694362956456055noreply@blogger.com
