Stunning Michelle! Interesting to hear how you used black gouache for the stripes.

Thanks both. Using the black gouache was something I learnt from Jason Morgan - it just keeps a good strong black base on the under-painting where you need such a strong black and you can then just go over this to finish off with a black pastel. It also limits the black contaminating the other colours as you work.
