This was the first time I'd used a toothbrush in a painting - I'll definitely be using it again

hehe, no doubt X3
toothbrushes, as many other things people don't know about, are the best!

Thanks! I'm so glad you like her!
She's just teasing me at the moment... it only looks like she's resting for a bit.
I know her.. She's ready to ounce again (with that knowing smirk!)

I'm so glad that you like her hun!
The sky was pretty easy to do actually - I masked off her figure first & then wet the paper. After the sky area was all wet (not pooled, but damp) I then put in puddles of colour - mostly Paynes Grey with Winsor Blue & Winsor Purple - and more Paynes grey Push the colours round until you get something you're happy with. Let it dry completely. Then, get an old toothbrush - water down some White Gouache, load up the old toothbrush & the drag you thumb/finger across the bristles! That's it! Instant sky! You should give it a try sometime - its easy & fun
