Thankyou very much!
I used watercolours to paint everything, and a little bit of ink outlining the fairy, and that's about it. Ohh and white gouache for the racoons. Thanks for you comment!

Thankyou very much! I was a little worried the wings were too dark, but I'm happy to hear they turned out alright! Thanks again!

Oh, how absolutely beautiful. I just love the texture of the wood and the pretty colors you used in the wings. The fae looks so dreamy, too. Nice job.

Thankyou very much! This painting took a LONG time for me to complete. The detail was maddening to paint, but I'm happy with how it turned out. Thanks again!

Your hard work really shows and I'll bet if this one is offered at your upcoming show, it will be the most likely to sell.

Be sure to take plenty of pictures of it - there's nothing sadder than parting with a painting you've grown fond of.

Yup! I just bought an even better one... *waits at mail box* It's gonna be HUGE. GIGANTIC. OMG. XD

What type is the new one? I've really been wanting a LARGE FORMAT printer, but I'll have to save up - I've been saving up for a new (really expensive) airbrush, but I'm always interested in the latest in print technology.

I bought an Epson Inkjet R1900. You can view it here: [link]
The largest size it prints at is 13" x 44" BorderFree. Which is pretty big, I think, for an at home printer. It is said to be the most professional printer for the most affordable price (I read that in an online review). It's also really BIG XD The ink is pricey, but when is ink ever cheap? It's supposed to be the best ink on the market - Ultra Chrome Ink, which produces the best quality prints. It also lasts for 200+ years. You can also print on a variety of papers at various sizes: watercolour paper, glossy, satin, luster, matte... etc...
I'm very excited to get my baby in the mail (free ground shipping wee!), and will definitely make a journal with my own pictures of it in action & my review.

Too bad it was all for naught (well, at least as far as the show goes) - let me know how easy the setup is and what the quality looks like.

LOOK AT THAT TREE MAN!! talk about detail! nice work is she a scary fairy? shes looking at me funny. I think she knows my fate!!
do you like using gouche? I find it a bit sticky

SashaFitzgerald In reply to Anna-Anaria [2008-07-04 18:03:28 +0000 UTC]
ooh and about gouche.... I only used the white paint on the racoons, that was the only bit I used ^_^ and yes, it's not my favourite type of paint. I find that colours are less vibrant, and more... mucky.

I don't know if she knows your fate, but she's definitely a little scary hehe! Look, she's surrounded by creatures of the night AND sits on creepy awesome tree/throne XD
