This quadriptych was painted early this year, when I first got my Gold Imit acrylic paint. I absolutely adore bold colours. The background was a simple creation from texture paste and acrylic colours, both in Gold Imit as well as Raw Umber. 

Later, I did a rough sketch of the chandelier with Titanium White (no photos available, unfortunately). At this juncture, I added layer after layer of chains, arms and prisms, first with Titanium White then with Gold Imit.

Do take note that painting a chandelier requires a lot of patience. It took me weeks of struggle with one liner brush and a few cotton buds. The fact that acrylic is a fast-drying paint did not help. However, with much research and persistence, this chandelier begun to look well, like a chandelier. 

 Now I can swing from the chandelier!
