crystal heart painting

Jo Forrest February 27, 2020

Day one of the crystal heart painting. So much more to do. So little energy. It would help if I could fall asleep at night sometime before 4:30 in the morning.

Skipped ahead to the almost finished painting. This just needs some small adjustments, and the text.

The text, done with my Cricut Maker. I mixed a darker shade of the background paint, and did two layers of paint through the stencil. It works fine.

The finished painting with the text. I still have to varnish it. I’ve switched to a satin finish varnish. I find the gloss varnish reflects too much light from the windows.
