Add A Little Sparkle


I recently finished an oil painting of a "Peacock". In the planning stages of this painting I was looking for some paints that would help give my work that extra touch of color. In nature, as a bird turns, the sunlight reflects and you see different colors from different angles.

I was introduced to Daniel Smith Luminescent Oil Colors www.danielsmith.com.  These paints are awesome. There are several iridescent and pearlescent colors in the Luminescent line of oil paints. These oils have the ability to reflect light and add some dramatic color- shifting effects. I am so glad I found them and feel like they added the extra touch I was looking for. They also offer these in their acrylic line. So if you are looking for something to give your painting that extra sparkle give these a try!!
