Description Tobius Leander says, "Dance, my pretties, dance!"

A very quick watercolor I did one evening when I was feeling a little low. I got out my copy of The Art of Spirited Away and was looking through the background plates and decided I felt like painting grass. And… butterflies. The stone people from the movie also worked their way into the picture… now how did that happen?

Tobius got in their just because he seemed to fit so well. And I like Tobius.

Watercolor on cold press watercolor paper. Two hours. © myself, some rights reserved. Print available.

I have to agree with everything said before ^^
Happy, calming and gives the feeling of a lazy summer day.

If that's how looks your "quick" work with watercolors, I am scared how good could the "took long" one @_@

Thanks!

Ironically, my "long" watercolors don't look much better; they just have more stuff in them.

Thanks for the fave!

Ok, still it doesn't look like it was made fast, especially with the grass..

I really like the colours you used, they're very calm. The contrast in the grass looks really good and I love the way the colours in the sky blend together.

I can't think of anything to say but...pretty!

Heh, I loved those little stone people. Whenever I watch that movie I feel compelled to pause it whenever they pop up, and try to imitate the faces they make.

GoldeenHerself In reply to inuzrule [2008-08-02 17:38:23 +0000 UTC]

I love the stone people too… I tend to see faces in rocks now all on my own.

Thanks for the fave!

I love that feeling of the summer "haze" you get from this, like you can almost feel the heat beating down on you.

Not a problem! Sorry I have been a bit slow with keeping up with deviations recently - real life has been very hectic
