I made an amazing discovery the other day: Metallic Paint. I guess I knew of it's existence but for some reason I have never used it. I picked up some metallic watercolor, not knowing how well it would work. I have to say, I am quite pleased with the way it turned out. It's so pretty in real life. Unfortunately, the scanner doesn't pick up the sparkle (that's rude) so I had to try and capture it with photos. I don't think photos quite capture it either, it's very shimmery and shiny. I am going to use it for robot ladies and space scenes but jewelry seemed like a good place to start.
