Wonderful palette and composition. I can't believe you painted this in the middle of the night! I would not even be able to function!

Thanks! I get insomnia from time to time and it seems to be quite a productive time for me; there's no external energies distracting me, plus the fog of exhaustion maybe stops me from being too fussy

Love the colors in this one!!! Do you use liquid frisk on your paintings or do you just use extra caution to keep the white space?? And if you ever have to use a different medium to add extra white to your painting, what do you use? I'm working on a painting and I need a brighter white (I messed up

Liquid Frisk, never heard of that one, but I guess we call it 'masking fluid' over here 
If I need to, I just use chinese white, quite thick. I guess you could also use gouache, but I always stick to watercolour paints.
Thanks for the feedback Anne. So, are you painting the dream/nightmare?

Yeah...it's masking fluid. I was trying to impress you with my grasp of watercolor tools and techniques 
I think I'm going to have to buy some gouache. I had some but it was cheap stuff I bought when I first started trying watercolors. Learned my lesson from that! Cheap SUCKS!!!
I am painting some little stuff right now to sell at the Arts and Crafts Festival in October. I haven't done any watercolors for a bit (got sidetracked with the dry brush paintings
