I was taken by the light that was highlighting three people having a coffee outside the visitor centre in the forest I go to all the time to paint. It provided an obvious focal point for a painting. I used a Princeton Aqua Elite brush for the first time (as recommended by Edo) Its a size 6 mop brush called a Quill and it has an amazing point to it. It behaves like a sable but is synthetic - it's pretty awesome. I used this for the entire painting - a great way to avoid fiddling.
