I had a look and her work is lovely.<BR/><BR/>Its as I predicted I think, to get that effect, I need to get back into high detail and small brushes, not loose painting.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-79415702283658504032008-12-12T20:39:00.000-03:302008-12-12T20:39:00.000-03:30Jeanette, why not check out the works of Janet Fis...Jeanette, why not check out the works of Janet Fish? <BR/><BR/>http://www.newyorkartworld.com/reviews/fish.html<BR/><BR/>she achieves irridescence with oils so it's possible.Billie Crainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11336330932102277633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-47218974520528703792008-12-12T09:49:00.000-03:302008-12-12T09:49:00.000-03:30I haven't used interference paints - or even seen ...I haven't used interference paints - or even seen them for sale in this little island. I shall have to investigate further and order a couple. Testing purposes only, of course... :)<BR/><BR/>Yes, I was thinking while I was painting...I can do this...I can draw glass or metal or water so why is this going all weird on me? I think I was being too broad with my paint application perhaps and need to get back to teeny detail to make irridescence look realistic.<BR/><BR/>Ahh yes, the T.O.O.s suggestions...practical yet not with an artistic eye.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-6942831513738556052008-12-12T09:07:00.000-03:302008-12-12T09:07:00.000-03:30Interesting question, Jeanette. i think you shoul...Interesting question, Jeanette. i think you should be able to capture irridescence with normal paint (but it will probably take some pra)ctice)- It must be rather like painting glass to look transparent or metal to be shiny. Don't you just love those suggestions T.O.O.s come up with - they are enough to drive you to distraction!<BR/>I love Christmas and the little things that make it so special.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05286949470920383652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-42552245301981025692008-12-12T09:02:00.000-03:302008-12-12T09:02:00.000-03:30well you captured the irredescence very well here ...well you captured the irredescence very well here and I currently have some of those treasured ornaments on my tree.<BR/><BR/>I love the interference paints.
