very helpful, Claire. I see her as a red head as well and started colouring her last year and you have motivated me to continue.

Just now saw your tutorial thank you so much for sharing. I live in America and I went too our craft store Hobby Lobby and ask them about metallic . They showed me a bottle call DecoArt extreme Sheen 59ml I grab just one color it’s call 24 k Gold. Thought 💭 I would try one out like you had mention. Did try it out on an old coloring book dried quite nice. Thank you as I will be following your color layout. Please let me know if you have ever herd of the one I pick up familiar? I paid 2.99 $ for it. Thank you again

[@gillianhowarth9291]

wow that's great , you make everything seem so easy thank you 💕

[@ClaireHoloway]

Gillian Howarth Thankyou! I was nervous having never done portraits or faces, but it’s the same light and shade idea just in flesh tones and when you break it down into steps it becomes quite achievable. I’m really glad you liked it! 😍

[@dpfreeman1]

The gold in the frame, did you do a tutorial for it?
