Portrait of Miriel, a red-haired elf, painted with gouache.
She's wearing a green dress with layered flutter sleeves,
decorated with gold patterns painted with glittery metal watercolors.
Her makeup also has glitter in it,
and she's surrounded by a similarly sparkly frame of silver and gold patterns
contrasted against a dark background the color of a night sky.

An experiment using Schmincke aquarelle bronze powder mixed with gouache. It doesn't glitter so much in this scan, but you'll just have to believe me that it's quite fun to look at under a strong light.
