You know, I think I'm starting to get a handle on watercolours... I don't think it will ever become my medium of choice, since I simply don't have the temperment for it, but it makes for a nice variation. Besides, you can get such wonderful effects with it.

(It does look a bit better IRL... My scanner isn't the best on the market, so it doesn't capture every variation and nuance perfectly.)

I started this piece some time ago, when I was still going to Life Drawing classes. Most of the work was done in a 20 minute session. I came back later to smooth things out and add some more detail.

I'm still not entirely happy with it, but that's normal for me. (Trust me, I can find flaws in everything I do.) Overall, though, I'm am rather pleased with the results, especially considering how frustrating I have found this medium to be.

first of all, excellent painting.

secondly, i dont know if you check your comments in other communities often. at anyrate, i wanted you to know. i posted your post card idea in "queerasfolkfans" (i dont know how to link) and it seems to be getting a good response. i really think we need to come together as communities somehow and make this thing work. just wanted to let you know, we're with you. just let us know.

Thanks for the support! ^___^ I'm glad people like the idea, and it's definately something I want to get started. I'll certainly post something once I get this off the ground. (Perhaps starting an LJ community or getting a message board for people to swap ideas? Hmmm...)
