Description 8x10 watercolor painting

WHOO. I like this one, though it took a hell of a long time on that dress. It was insprired by a fallen leaf I picked up.

This painting has been made into beautiful resin jewelry boxes. I don't have them on my site yet though.

Ooh, I love this one! The colors and the leaf motif throughout are just stunning. What REALLY stands out (for me) is how you very cleverly incorporated Gothic architecture and the maple leaf shape into the window frame! CLEVER blending of art and architecture, two of my loves. Thank you for this!

arcticphoenixstudios [2007-10-01 00:36:07 +0000 UTC]

I'm muchly admiring your ability to make straight outlines for your architectural bits. How are you doing the outlines? Pen? Painted? Ink? With a ruler or no? Or just loads of practice?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

MeredithDillman In reply to arcticphoenixstudios [2007-10-01 19:44:32 +0000 UTC]

The outlines are inked. I use a rule when I'm drawing it out in pencil but have to ink freehand so I don't smear the ink. The pencil is a lot messier before I put the ink on

arcticphoenixstudios In reply to MeredithDillman [2007-10-02 22:23:14 +0000 UTC]

Ok. That makes sense. I guess I just need to practice steadying my hand more. Everything looks ok up til I've got surrounding bits filled in and all of a sudden my lines start looking crooked. Spiff. Thankie!

Wow, this is great! It looks kinda like an Amy Brown. (That is not an insult.)

I met Amy Brown once. She flirted with me so that I would buy her art.

I did not buy her art.

I might buy this, tho.
