Joan Steacy's Studio and Blog

This one was also done at the local show and the first time I did a triple figure on one page. I learned from past experience that adding rosie cheeks is not so easy with watercolour, I'd always end up with a modely mess at times. So I came up with a way to soften and blend. I used a fine soft brush (a eye shadow brush will do) then I brushed it across a chalk pastel and applied it as if I was putting on blush make up - it worked like a charm!
