She’s really pretty but don’t be fooled by her face. Because she’s no angel.

It was such an inspiration painting this one. I did just finish hearing Oscar Wilde’s “Happy Prince and Other Tales” (I have a habit of listening audio books while I paint). I have never heard stories more sad and beautiful.

Technically this one was really interesting to paint. In early steps when I was starting to sketch the leaves in, I used a variety of brushed with the spacing almost always set up to 100 %. I have almost never done so before, and now I can’t believe why, it was an amazing time saver! I’ll be definitely using that tool more in future too. I love it when I feel I have learned something new.

Hope you guys enjoy!
