She starts with the background, from the top down....

Mixing just the right colour....

Narae is using a brush, even though the actual painting is being done with a palette knife. But I don't have a miniature one of those, nor did I know how to make one. So, a brush it is....

"Okay, I think that's enough for today..."

Time to let the paint dry...

Martha, I feel like I am watching a real artist paint! Well, I am and it's you! I have noticed that Narae is left handed. Did you do that on purpose? I hope you are feeling better.

Actually, it's not me that's doing the painting - it's my sister.

And Narae's left-handed only because it worked better for the pictures, so I guess I better be watching that now - for continuity.

However, it's true that many artists are left-handed. As much as one third of the students in art school can be lefties.

Dear Martha, I did not know that! My college boyfriend was an artist and left handed. That's why I always notice left-handed people. The last four US Presidents (not counting the current one) were left handed.
