Sparkling form

I was totally taken with the colours in this amazing shoe! Now that I've painted it I realise why because when I got out the watercolours to match they were all my favourites. I used all Schmincke's Transparent Yellow, Transparent Orange, Magenta, Brilliant Purple, May Green and Cobalt Turqouise, except for Winsor & Newton Opera Rose. I don't think it's possible to do justice to this shoe to show how it sparkles - maybe the metallic Daniel Smith colours would work? I put down a wash with all the colours first and then drew circles over it with a Luminance Black pencil.

Painted on 640gsm Saunders Waterford HP paper.
