Description
Oh my God! Could it be? A new artwork from astraldreamer, after ages and ages.Anyway this artwork was inspired by, and used for reference the lovely stock photo;

I truly am a one trick pony, using the same techniques as always, watercolour background with plastic wrapping texture, coloured pencil on the figure and outlined in black. Some people might call it a style I guess.
When I finished the background I knew it had to be a sunset and I was reminded of the amazing silhouettes that trees make on the skyline as the light had faded almost completely. So I've created a figure to represent that moment.
I hope you enjoy my work. Lets hope it's not another long span between artworks.

I love the background too, the whole thing is definitely more bold than your past paintings but it definitely works.

It does have a bit of a Nouveau feel to it, my next work has a definite Mucha flavour

She's beautiful. I love the colours and the way the dress falls to look almost like butterfly wings.

thankyou, the dress kind of evolved, but I do like to do the pattern fold ... something I learnt to do years ago to add a realistic edge to the dress.

It looks beautiful, if I saw that dress in a shop (and had enough money ) I would probably buy it (:

LOL, yeah it was about time.
The pose was thanks to wonderful stock. I found it so inspiring.
I guess that kind of background is my style now.
Thanks so much for your lovely comments.
