My idea for this was to make something that represented me. This represents me because saphires are my birthstone and I also love jewlery. This painting is a picture of a saphire ring on someones finger. My process of this was to paint the stone first. It was just supposed to be the stone origanally, but I had messed up the placement so it was uneven. So I had to make it into a ring. I used silver paint to try to make the silver part of the ring more realistic. My painting does not really mean anything. If I could start over I don't know what I would change. I took a lot of time on this painting and don't know what i could change to make it better. The style of this painting would be Realistic. This is unique to my personal style because my birthstone is a saphire. I also work at a jewlery store. Ive been really interested in painting stones and gems lately and I really liked this saphire.
