GWC Customz - Pastel MLP
(Feb 2020)The story: I bought a customizable MLP ( My Little Pony) Figurine. It was affordable and had an interesting design.
The Process: I painted it with a series of pastel colors, I made sure to blend them together in layers. Layering paints is the best method for making gradients or Ombre` effects IMO. After I was happy with the gradients I went in with special effects paints and coated the points of interest with glitter and matte sparkles.
Outcome: I was really happy with how this project came out most of my time was spent blending and building up color payoff. I do use craft paints and student grade acrylics which can be very transparent at times. Using a translucent paint does mean that painting a project can take a longer time than using heavy body paints that are thinned out. For me I am used to the process of mixing the thinned paint and I find it easier to handle than having to use paint thinner with a heavy paint. The theory is "you can always add but taking away is much harder". I hope you all enjoy this project as much as I did and I will be back with more blogs. See below for more photos.
