BLEARGH, I need more patience when working with watercolors. I like working outside on a sunny day when I'm using watercolors, but today was rainy and cold, so inside I stayed. I might just redo it so I can make it less... runny, now that I have a clearer idea of what I'm doing.
Also, The actual painting is a few inches bigger than my scanner, so a portion of the actual piece is cut off . I tweaked the colors a little bit in Photostudio 5.5 becuase my scanner tends to wash out colrs, but nothing else.

Anyways, I asked A long while ago if I could use one of his photos as reference for a painting. I tried to use acrylics, but I wasn't used to it enough to get anything decent, so I gave it another try with watercolors which worked out much better. Thanks, Coady, hope you like!
Now it's time for August 2008 Visual Art Features, many new art to discover!
Don't forget that many artists need to be viewed, they deserve it! Fave Fave Fave! My main purpose in doing a monthly feature about (to my point of view) 'the best visual art' is to put in the same level as well wellknown artists and popular creations as unknown artists and under-exposed creations. Artists need to be supported. So don't be shy!
Here's the Menu per Category :
Digital Paintings & Drawings | Mixed Media | PhotoManipulations | 3-Dimensional | Vector & Vexels | Photography | Traditional Paintings & Drawings | Artisan Crafts
