Neutral stripes and a sunflower. The stripes in the shadow are just a whole new challenge. I think I like doing stripes and want to do more!
Side note: I am a "brush geek". I like to try out lots of new brushes. Different brushes all seem to do something a little different. This brush I used Silverbrush Bristlon, is what Carol Marine recommends in her Materials ArtByte. It is the first time I have tried the Silverbrush brushes, and I like them a lot. The Bristlon has synthetic bristles, but acts kind of like a natural hog bristle. It's sort of the perfect combination of synthetic and natural bristle feel. I also like the brushes that Richard Schmid uses, the Royal Langnickel flats. They seem to make really interesting unpredictable edges.
