Description
8x10 watercolor paintingWHOO. 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.

The leaf (or autumn) theme was carried out amazingly here. All her outfit is really beautiful and all with different details and with so different leaf colors. Also the background is beautiful. Makes me think of a big garden full of fallen leaves. All the little details look awesome. The little stones, the leaves on her hair. And even all gives a feeling of fire and dying like the falling of leaves.

This one is just breathtaking. Everytime I look at your work I wonder how you manage to get such bright colors with watercolors. Everytime I try, I tend to use a little too much water and even though I do many layers of colors and never get vibrant colors like yours. I hope you don't mind me asking if you'd have any tips for me about that? And I'm also wondering how you manage to scan you bigger paintings?
Sorry for all the questions! I really adore your work and this painting and the Lady at the Ivy Gate really are my favorite ones. Keep up the good work! And thank you for taking the time to read my comment. =3

Hi. I think you need really good watercolor to get bright colors, and to not be scared to use the color. I used to use more water and was afraid to put a lot of color on at once. You can photocopy your drawing onto watercolor paper if you're worried about messing up.
Bigger paintings I have to scan in pieces. It sucks

Wow! Thank you so much for the quick response!
I had no clue you could actually photocopy anything on watercolor paper! That's a great idea! I will try it out.
And I guess there is no trick when it comes to scan bigger paintings, I will have to try until it comes out okay.
Thank you very much for your help! I appreciate it a lot!

Yeah, it works better with smooth watercolor paper. You usually have to ask the people at the copy place to do it for you because if it's too thick it can get stuck. I did that all the time before I could ink stuff without messing and having to use white-out.
You could get a really expensive 11x17 scanner. That's about all.

The colours are really nicely done yet your figure needs work. The proportions are quite off, especially her torso in comparision to the legs and her arm is just weird, it bends offly and is far to thin in parts.

Wow! I suppose the saying about "when you get a new idea someone else probably already thought about it" thing is true. I drew a fairie with the same wing idea and kind of the same dress but mine was see through and sleeveless.. weird!

A little. I'm not one of those crazy raving fans who wants to paint just like her

Never been a fan of crazy raving fans m'self. Honestly, I think you're a more accomplished artist. Amy Brown was really nice when I met her though.
