Hi there crafty friends, today I'd like to share a painting I've just finished. I know its not a masterpiece, I'm just learning, but my Aunt asked me to paint a unicorn for her grandaughters bedroom and this is the first one. I just love unicorns, so I'm going to paint a few and let her choose the one she likes the best. Her room is mainly blues and greys and she said she would like muted tones, so I think this should fit in.
I used paints from Indigblu, matte and metallic, with the addition of Slap it on to help blend the colours, on a 50cm x 40cm canvas.

ReplyDeleteVisiting now on behalf of CRAFT Challenge. Still think this is beautiful! Thanks so much for joining us at CRAFT Challenge!
ReplyDeleteWow! For someone being self taught, you captured the magic of the unicorn. It looks 3D with all the layering especially of the mane. I love the soft colours used and can almost feel the softness of the unicorn's neck. I see no reason why this is not allowed. Stunning work!
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning!!
