Fortunately she doesn't come on this site LOL A couple more attempts at abalone shell. #5 A base coat of light grey pearl allowed to dry. Blues, green, and purple toned down a bit with some white pearl. Dropped and streaked on the dry grey and smeared with a brush. Black applied with a tiny brush. #6 Same as #5 but I put some full strength color drops on top and blew them around with a straw. Black applied with a tiny brush. I don't think I will ever replicate abalone shell with paint but it's getting close to what I want. I think I'll tone the black down with some white pearl for the next attempt [ Edited by MadDogMike on 2023-01-08 12:26:09 ]
