Painting the lid... again

I woke up this morning, looked at the tin lid and decided it wasn't quite right.

I went back to it and added some lighter bits (the criss- cross section at the bottom and the leaves in the centre) to make them stand out more.

I felt like some of the detail was lost so by adding in the faint highlights I was able to see the detail more easily.

I also mixed the brown and gold acrylics and painted on a different shade where dirt etc would be which I think makes it look more realistic.

I am much happier with how it looks now...
