~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

~22.5 hours (I repainted the background)

Oil on canvass, used linseed oil and low oudor turpintine



My notes
~~~~~~~~~~
Paint a ripple, so it looks like water
Further away petals should have been blurred or dotty like the background and maybe some green leaves
Take photo indoors as well as outdoors
Shadows
Think of less cheesy title next time

I absolutely love it! It is a combination of my two favourite colours and i love the idea of the soul being a flower! It is a lovely idea And you are very talented at watercolurs (if thats what they are ^^) - i could never paint someting like that

azeemb In reply to Indianimations [2011-08-03 18:11:22 +0000 UTC]

oil, but i've messed around with water as well. These are all the paintings I have ever done ; [link]

Have a go, you never know until you try, got the canvass from 'Quality Save' and they do cheap acrylic paints as well
