Do I get rid of the dark gold or the metallic white?? Ofcourse, it’s not even close to done. I just don’t really care for it, so before I get too carried away, I thought I’d ask for help.
my vote goes to getting rid of the dark gold/copper spots (like around the eyes and shoulder) and just use that color to do antiqueing. 🙂 Love the wings though….
I think I like the lighter gold you have on the flanks better than the dark. I like the metallic white, but that’s me. 🙂

I painted over some of the dark gold with the white and it just looked cloudy. How do I get rid of the dark gold? Just keep painting over it, or do I need to wash it?
You can paint over it. If painting with the metallic white, it might take you a few coats, but you should get it.

Could you use the dark gold for a wash, in between the cracks? That would be pretty, but it’s too dark for the parts in the photos. That’s my opinion, but keep in mind that I’m not a painter.
I like the color scheme alot. Honestly the only thing I would change is that darker gold/bronze highlight around that one eye. That doesn’t really appeal to me personally. I like the side where it’s a lighter color around the eye. Other than that though I think he looks really good!!

Cool, I agree, that dark gold has to go. I think I’ll really like it then. I’ll use it to antique, that’ll look great! Thanks for the suggestions guys! I’ll work on it tonight and post more pics when I’m happy with it.
