Description Sorry the title sounds like an after school special. This is taken from the scene in the movie where Aurora receives her gift of song. Credit for the gothic armature and concept goes to Eyvind Earle (I luvz Eyvind Earle). This was a fun, afternoon watercolor.

Isn’t it nice how my scanner picks up my uneven watercolor skills.

Aurora Β© The Walt Disney Company

Watercolor on hot press paper

"One gift, the gift of song,
Melody pour whole life long!
The nightingale her troubadour,
Bringing his sweet serenade to her door!"

I love it! Aurora is my favorite

I loved it when Mary Martin told the story of Sleeping Beauty on the record. She had the most wonderful voice. Excellent work

AHH how refreshing! thank you so much for putting her in blue (like she is throughout the whole movie!) it really does suit her better. great work too; love the styling!

ShannonValentine In reply to kittyorion [2011-01-14 01:03:41 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! Yes I agree - blue is her color and it was what she wore (with the exception of the mere seconds her dress flashed pink in the end.) I don't acknowledge the pink dress.

I so love your Aurora stuff!! She's my favorite princess, but I get tired of seeing her in the standard poses people always seem to put her in. You capture her so well!!!

the style here is Very pretty! although with her eyes that way it almost looks like she's planning to give the little birddie minion a sceme to complete

snow-white-kt In reply to ShannonValentine [2010-10-05 01:42:53 +0000 UTC]

I am, though nothing really well finished or polished, I have to admit. I just posted a journal entry, apologizing for my lack of work in the last year, and promising that I've scanned all my stuff in, and plan to post it all up in the next week. I'm working on color-correcting now, and I'll probably post the first batch tonight.

Thanks for asking, hun! Makes me feel appreciated. I hope to get your feedback on some of the stuff I post? I've always been grateful of your critiques!

Beautiful!
Do you prefer hot press paper? I haven't used it before, and I'm wondering if I should try it.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

ShannonValentine In reply to CarmelMocha [2010-10-03 04:16:41 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I prefer hot press paper because it tends to be very smooth and I can get very detailed with tiny painted lines. I've heard other watercolorists complain that it's too smooth and that they don't like the way the paint seems to sit more on the surface than to get absorbed into the paper. You could buy one sheet and experiment!
