Description
Watercolors on "planning paper";(thift stores yield the best media
first serious attempt at watercolors, but in a very casual way (see: the horrible anatomy, and imperfect circles, etc)
Inspired by looking at Alison Reed's art for a few hours.

how i missed your art. this is so pretty, your very good with watercolors. i love the way the bird on your back looks. the paper you drew it on makes it look structured yet free spirited. if that even makes any sence.

This really is a lovely piece of work. I think what makes it so appealing is that it is so calm. I feel at ease with this picture, almost too calm while watching it. And the watercolours blend great and it's just a nice nice piece of work.

oh wow... its lovely... wooow... makes me wonder how good your watercolours would be on regular paper...
i liek how the vines are growing around her... and the bird (phoenix?? it resembles it to me) coming from the back looks like angel wings, but is soooo much better...original..
and i love your style of drawign butterflies. :3

I've loved this pic ever since I saw it in your journal.
But I always have a soft-spot for real media. :3
The pretty colours appeal to my eyes!

Wow I love the use of colors here, Dana. The way the rooster almost looks like it's coming out of her back... and the way you used so many different shades of color to add depth to this... wow watercolors are so hard for me to use, so I'm amazed how well you drew with them! I love it!

This is beautiful. It's great to see you're trying new media. I'm so bad at watercolors. ;_; I really love the tranquil feel and the contents of this image. I also really like the idea of putting that pretty bird on her back rather than just wings. Ooh, wow that bird is so pretty. This is so very nice.
Eh, I always have imperfect circles...
