And this tea cup has got me gasping to go and put a brew on. Very delicately done. I really can't offer suggestions, being a watercolour beginner.Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05332004512626066008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28616315.post-1151848390368449612006-07-02T08:53:00.000-05:002006-07-02T08:53:00.000-05:00Nel, I think it has a good silver tone.

I agree with Jan on the darkest lightest ... and I think I would have reserved a bit of white here or there for a reflective highlight. it's usually the very sharp highlights that "sell" the shininess. If you're handy at Photoshop, try adding the white on a separate layer on your scan and see what you think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28616315.post-1151813539068199532006-07-01T23:12:00.000-05:002006-07-01T23:12:00.000-05:00It looks silverish to me.

That creates contrast and something for the light part to 'bounce' off. But this is a great painting. <BR/>Thanks for visiting my blog.
