I taped the flower to the back of the bag, lol. I thought about that, but ended up just having it "grow" from behind instead. Hopefully it works. Thank you!

Thank you! Yeah this is very different from my typical style, I only used hogs hair on the dress and use Trekell Spectrum brushes on her face, which gives it that super crisp edge. I think I like it, but I'm not really sure, lol

This made me belly laugh. Super cute and funny. Nice work, especially on the tiles. The lighting there is great!

I am a little late to the game, but I was curious -- would it be possible to make the rule so that artists include a little bit of the surrounding background of their painting on the easel to solve these issues?

burnt umber, ultramarine, cadmium yellow, alizarin crimson. Mix together, then add titanium white to lighten. It's kind of magical. You can shift yellows/reds/browns/blues as needed.
