* A little gold leaf ...
I'm almost finished. She needs a little more work on her face and neck and perhaps an earring. I gold leafed her halo today. Never did that before on a painting, so it occurred to me, after the fact, it would probably need to be sealed to prevent tarnishing. Sure enough it does - a good varathane will do. Of course, I don't happen to have any - so will have to wait until Monday to get a little tin. Then I can seal and antique her halo. Here's her latest portrait.

Love the gold leaf halo! It gives her a special kind of power. :)
Oooooo - magnificent, truly Donna!! I want to try some gold leafing. I have been using a lot of metallic paint, but I have been wondering about that. Need to do a little research I guess.
