Here the edges are less refined and the paint is still showing the pencil beneath it.

Beautiful painting.

Thanks we'll see how it turns out, I think she wants to add a triangle in there eventually with a glow around it.

Love this idea! When a picture is painted in oil, it acquires special value. When the quarantine madness is over, I want to buy my girlfriend oil so she can taste it.

It's a pretty tricky process, I would definitely make a mess if I tried it.
