Yay! I had such fun with it. I LOVE oil painting, it's just that it is frustrating with the drying time and all. But since this only has thin glazes over the top of an underpainting, I expect it will take significantly less time.
She started out as Red Riding Hood, but now the atmospheric effects make her a bit more mysterious than that -- so it's anyone's guess who she is. ;) I look forward to using this experiment more!

Hi Carmen, i wondered what you had done as the shine was quite apparent as soon as your page came up. I like it, i have little experience with paint but i can see how much more vibrant it looks. Perhaps she's off trick or treating?
That is so beautiful hon!

This is just gorgeous Carmen, I see what you mean this technique gives a lot more depth, subtlety and loveliness to your work! Can't wait to see more, just beautiful :)
