I decided to paint a cut garnet, because I've never done any artwork of gemstones before and thought it would be good practice. I used watercolour and gouache. I'm still learning how to use watercolours, but I thought the translucent effects they give would be good for the sparkly gemstone. It's not the best thing I've ever done, but it's ok and I feel like I learned from it, which is the main thing!
Didn't have much time to work on this, but I still wanted to do something.

I think I will carry on with cut stones, they are really different from what I would normally do and I think it's good for me to get out of my comfort zone!
Thank you!
@Moon Goddess Thanks!
Very nice painting! I really like the look of translucence and light.
It's looks awesome! You really nailed the sparkly effect of cut gemstones.
I've never drawn a cut stone because I'm too scared! They look really difficult. This is really good though, will you be doing cut stones for the rest of the streak?
