Completed Fairies Wear Boots!

[valiant]

Hi Guys,
I hope none of you mind me posting this on behalf of my daughter, but she is very proud of this!
Painted entirely by herself in acrylics, a very independant 12 year old!! Figure by Grey Matter Figures, base by Boots face cream lid!!
cheers,
Steve

Why would anyone mind Steve. She has done a great job and from my own experience I know you must be very proud of her and pleased she has taken an interest in figure painting... and she's good too.
I'm sure she'll read this so... very well done!

Pretty good - certainly a lot better than my first efforts
She understands the idea of shading, which is half the battle

Tell your daughter she did a marvelous job !! The boots even look like they were spit shined !

It is she who should be proud that is far better than anything I painted at 12! Ok you should be proud too, for bringing the hobby to a new generation.

Get them while they're young Steve.
She's done a grand job,

Cracking job mate, nice use of highlights and shadows on the skirt and the hair looks great also, if she decides to start sculpting you need to be worried mate about the competition

All the best

He laughed and said yeah and has gone scampering upstairs

Yep, sounds about right.
