For my project I wanted to make a large scale painting of a magical forest, that would be visible in the dark! It came out better than expect but not quite as pictured. As the fairy’s where pretty difficult due to there small size and need for detail! for the fairy’s and the houses I experimented using sketched stencils I anticipated needing a thick piece of paper so for the houses and the first set of fairy’s I layered card stock under the thick sketch paper. this ended up being to think but it gave the houses a nice 3D feel. Moving forward the fairy stencils were designed on much thinner paper and then applied to the canvas before painting the colors and details.

The Glowing paint worked better than expected! The paint i decided to purchase of the was a smart decision compared to most cheaper glowing paints i have tried in the past for figurines and accessory pieces.
