Painting the Diamond: The Beginning

I’ve finally started painting the diamond!! But first I had to do a little more drawing:

Then I did the first layer of paint:

After many years experimenting with transparent layers of paint I am going to reveal to you the ‘Lucy Farmer Secret Recipe of Painting’. (= delicious colours, yum!)

The yellow and blue will help to create a ‘glow’. A very thin wash of yellow, blue or a mixture of both like this are always my first layers of paint.

Now I have to wait for it to dry before applying the second layer. Until tomorrow…
