Mesmerizing, Lucy! Also a couple of questions... What size brush is that Ultra fine one? and where do you find the music you use for your videos?
OK, and one more... how long did it actually take to paint this? Surely, not 5 minutes!
Thank you!
Ok - the paintbrush is a Daler & Rowney Aquafine liner 10/0. It's lovely as you can get nice curves with it because it's so long, but mine does have a teeny tiny kink in the very end, so I have to be careful how I use it. You can see in the video when I'm going over the eye that I twizzle the brush to a better angle. I just got it from Hobbycraft.
I get all my music from the Free Music Archive. It's a great resource, but you have to be careful as each piece will have a particular license for free use, and some can't be used commercially. I always start my searches with stuff that's available for commercial use in the public domain. http://freemusicarchive.org/
And finally, each fox took approximately 15 minutes to paint, after I'd done the first one and was essentially copying myself.

Lucy, as Christine said, it's mesmerizing and the music matches your magic.
Did you sketch the fox on paper first or did you simply treat the plain disk as your canvas and start painting?

Hi Pip. I just started painting - I had plenty of the dry discs of royal icing prepared, and I had to eat one to hide the evidence, before I got it right! I have a Pinterest board of various paintings and photographs of foxes, and did a sort of amalgamtion. It's actually a fairly simple image - no legs, only one eye so no symmetry to worry about...
