Title: Going to try and fix head/body mismatch on a Water Cutie.
Post by: Leave a Whisper on February 19, 2018, 11:23:25 AM

I was a dummy and put my poor Diamond Mint on the windowsill because, Ooh! Sparkly! Her head is still blue, but it's faded to almost clear. :(

So, I bought one of those little Suncatcher paint kitts that has several shades of blue. I'll put a bit on the bottom of her hoof and see if any blend in. If one does, I'll try painting her head. Wish me luck!

Best of luck! When you have done it can you take pics and show us? I would love to see how it turns out  :)

Here's the subject. Already painted a bit of her hooves to see which color blue blends best. One was too dark, one was too green. One seems just right. A nice turquoise color. I think it'll need a lot of layers though.

Just started. It's kinda hard to tell if the color is coming back, because the paint is so thin and the sky is overcast.  :pout: But I think it is.
