After painting over the first orange & yellow accents, I made some sketches of Clever Girl then finished in watercolors to assist with the hopefully final Real Orange Accents. In place of gold a light yellow watercolor was a useful substitute.
Using the Gloss Real Orange new accents were added to the head trailing the eyes. We are both very happy with this new look. A careful review in the daylight will determine the need for touch-us.
The addition of Night Black Metallic outlines will complete this look. Clever Girl, Brison & Xavier will still need blending of the Gold Rush Metallic with their top color. Stay Tuned!
