WDE 9 3 10 Just Diddlin' my Toes....
this was such fun, Kat, thanx so much for hosting .... stole 3 more for another time!! this reminded me so much of my DS/BIL, once i shortened the guy, so i took the challenge with w/c.... long time between brushes!!! i tend to picky-pick at it too much, and did with this one too... but enjoyed the 2 1/2 hrs... it's about 6X10 for a frame i have...
Two things i want to pass on: to add the white i needed, nothing would work, so i used Whiteout... and the cooolest part is that it's RESIST!!!.... if i'd known that, i'd have plannned it differently... but try it, it's COOL!!! and #2, if you've never tried it, drop a slice of cucumber in your icewater... so very refreshing! (just wash it off before you start slicing).... .... off to the shore for the day tomorrow... see ya when i get back... 
(hmmmm... no pic came up... also, looking at it on here, it looks like they're standing at a backdrop of the ocean.... hahahaha.... diddddle them toes, tootsie!!)

Love it... especially the color of the suit. I will also try the whiteout tip. Enjoy the shore!

Great job. I love it they look like it's too cold to go further out what with the waves crashing in and all. I can smell the sea. Jen

I will have to keep the whiteout trick in mind. Have a great day, and this came out great.

I love the water and the colours are so sharp and clean and I love the comfortable way the couple fit together. That white out idea sounds very useful.

Hey Nonny i like the texture that paper is giving you,love your figures and reflections  like what you did with the water as well.
TIP 1 What is white out,not sure i have heard of it here in the uk.
Tip 2 cucumber,had me on the edge of my seat what i thought you was going to say was,'wet your paper thoroughly, add colour,drop in the slices of cucumber,let the cucumber soak up the water lift off and you have the coolest textures lolmmight try it you never know  |

Beautiful painting of some beautiful people who evidently love each other alot. I love the shadows and your ocean treatment! The vividness of the colours is lovely, as well.
