Art: Lullaby (G)

[sigune]

Whew! I had to start this picture all over - I inked it with my brush pen and then saw that all sorts of things were wrong with it :P. I redrew it with my Staedtler pens and got a much more pleasing result, also in terms of details.

I know that people like my black-and-white pictures better than the colour ones, but the scene I drew here is a nocturnal one and I thought it would look like a large ink blot if I tried to keep it in b/w. This turned into another experiment, and I'm not displeased with the final result. More important, though, is the question whether mary_j_59 is happy with it, because this was done for her, for snapedom's Summer Fest. It's an illustration of her story All Hallow's Eve.

You've excelled yourself with the watercolour, I especially like how you did the subtle colours in the sky. Excelelnt job.

Thank you! :D

I was extremely nervous about the sky and kept it for last - not sure that is clever, but... *g* In the end I painted it really quickly, wet on wet - it was fun.

Maybe I'll get there one day... :-)

Wet on wet is a good technique with watercolour, & your already pretty good way along the road ;)
