Snow-belles

Hello all! I thought it would be nice to start practising my watercolours again, but with a glittery twist. This is the first painting in a series I decided to call Snow-belles. Each painting is definitely going to feature glitter, and colourful hair most likely! 
Here is the illustration on my little easel - professional! 


Some of the glitter looks remarkably golden in this photo but it is definitely all silver! 


Anyway, I hope you guys like this! It was really fun to make, and of course applying the glitter was very messy but was probably the best part!

  2. Ooh, love the idea of mixing glitter in with paintings! I just wish that we could see how sparkly they are in photos, haha! But I do love that there's just a special quality of traditional works that you can only experience in person. :)

    1. Thank you lovely! They definitely sparkle a lot more in real life, especially when the light catches them just right! xxx

    1. Thanks very much! I think it would look pretty on a wall, especially somewhere with a lot of sunlight so it catches the glitter and beads. I have a lot of pots of glitter to use! xxx
