The point in my process when I think ‘aaah nearly done’, forgetting that these last steps actually take ages #nerdlings

I wouldn’t expect or wish all that airbrushing on anyone, but that is my silly recipe 😂 Looking forward to seeing some orange!

Orange is the absolute worst colour to work with. Worse than yellow. I love it, but it’s hard work 😂

Batch painting five is a killer

Though, I have now discovered Two Thin Coats after experimenting with many oranges and yellows and whilst I’m generally a Pro Acryl fan, TTC’s oranges and yellows are absolutely a level above and made the edge highlighting far less painful. Highly recommend.

May I introduce you to… orange edge highlighting? 😂

Painting Sallies @paintingsallies.bsky.social · Aug 26

I die a little inside every time I get to the edge highlighting 😂
