Hi! Reddit just deleted my reply to your lovely note, I think because I posted a link. Thank you SO much for the kind words. Means more than you know. This painting is 4x6” - I do have more work but can’t post any links here I learned. Feel free to DM :) Thanks again!!

Thank you so much!!! <3 Nope, no glow in the dark paint (although that sounds awesome). I used Liquitex heavy body paints ). The trick is to put the darkest dark next to the brightest bright, and it gives it that "glowy" look. Also another trick is just basically layering - my first paint layer was a super dark tree, then a dark layer of snow, then a soft glow of light, then some more lighter snow, etc. and just build it up. Art lesson of the day lol!
