painting on jewelry

[Tyrrell]

Hi there!

I was just at a fabulous site where an artist had painted jewelry onto
people! He had some great necklaces that looked SO real. Does anyone know
how to do it? Aside from painting lots of symmetrical dots around the neck
what's the key to making it look real. Anyone have any instruction or tips
to give me? I really want to try it out.

some suggestions..

Use Glitter Gells and /or Glitter (some call it cheeting but..)

Otherwise, look at ads for jewelry, pick one out and paint it.. I think the
secret to stuff looking real is shadowing and highlight... so dig out a grey
grease pencil and shadow and use white to acsent a highlight... just some
thoughts..
