Painted Jewelry Design: Blue Gem Necklace

I thought I'd share a design I did a while back and shared on Facebook, but forgot to add to my blog! Here's a necklace design that I did for Illusion's jewelry competition! Scroll down for step by step photos....

 

You can really do a LOT with just paint! I have no gemstones, glitter, or anything attached to this design.  Just paint and I used my fine brush. 

You can find some more in-depth instructions for painting jewels in my book, "Realism for Face and Body Artists!"

Happy painting!!  :-)
