I got a job coming up that requires a cameo paint graphic of a greek godess. I was thinking of making it look like the old costume jewelry with the dark oval and a white profile. But, the problem is how do I get enough detail so pepole know what it is, without losing the effect? the piece is going to be about 30' in the air on the building so are just grey shadows going to define it enough?

Ken, You might get a reasonable effect by outlining the portrait area 1 or 2 times, seperating and cutting 1 or 2 tones of grey to soften the edges. Silver would probably do the trick. Bronzeo
