"This is a painting of catching snowflakes with my tongue. I challenged myself to draw a face from an unusual perspective. I mixed all the colours myself as I didn't want to use paint straight out of the pot. The flesh colour was a real challenge. When the paint was dry, I added details to the jumper and the fluffiness of the scarf with coloured pencil. The snow is a mixture of white blobs and pencil, because all snowflakes are different."
