I think it is pretty as it is. However, do you think she would like an antiquing glaze? I would seal it ( with matte clear spray) and rub an antiquing glaze over it. It would dull down the colors by contast.
How about a colored wax?
I’d love to tone down this bright blue… ideas? The photo doesn’t convey how almost neon it is… I’m not the artist. So I’d need basic instructions if you can share.
I've used a product called Zgel that is a coating you brush on that will add texture and a slightly frosted feel.
Not grey.
Use a glazing medium and mix in a bit of the opposite color on the color wheel. On each part.
also the birds are too white. If you paint parts of them with a glaze of grey and parts with a glaze of cream or pale blue, (the shadowed parts) you may find that the rest works.
go slow. A bit at a time. The glazing medium looks whitish until it dries.
