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 let me say your intelligent well thought out justified opinions are amazing, I found thoroughly refreshing while browsing a post a lj drama (http://www.ljdrama.org) and I decided to check out your journal, I've read a few posts back and again was amazed at the intelligence and logic level of your posts and opinions.
Not to mention the fact that you listed Utena among your interests so I'm giving you a sp00ty person glomp right there. ^_^
So what's my point? I friended you, is that ok? ^_^ I really like your journal and that picture is beautiful, very well done for being water color (I'm more of an oil based paintings m'self XD) I only hope you don't mind random lj posts on your friends list o.O I try to be very considerate about lj cuts and most of the time my posts aren't that long ^_^
