I enjoyed the looseness of this one. I used both brushes and painting knives. I had a different plan for this one and originally the brown would not behave and I ended up feeling like it was a horrible. I came back to it when it was dry and I was able to get the lights in the browns and turned it around. It felt great to end up with something I like when the previous day with it left me feeling like I wanted to smash it and all my paints.
