A Soft Melody -from start to finish-

Last time i was in my local art supply store i was looking for coloured inks and i came across Metallic watercolour paint.... i thought why not since it may be nice as an experimentation kind of thing or it may help achieve a look that other watercolours cant... so this piece is mostly me trying different things with that paint... mainly how it acts on it's own and how it acts when mixed with other paints

so i did a quick sketch and inked it with black india ink.... didn't want to experiment with everything at once, i decided to go with 9x12 cold pressed paper wince there's a bit of texture and i felt it would give this metallic paint a bit more dimension.

So in the end I mainly focused on how it reacted when mixed with other paint (the heart) how it reacted when placed onto of another paint (the hair) how is acts on it's own (the dress) and as more of a happy accident... how it reacts to techniques to add texture (the bg)
am i happy with it? overall yeah but i will not ever use this much of the paint again.... just a little details to help accent it since the glitter doesn't show up in scans and makes it really hard to photograph.

It is for sale on Red Bubble 

I may start selling Original or my art soon, we'll see how things go. 

Little Devil -From Start to Finish-

i was a little more restrained with this one.... it's the smallest thing i've ever painted at 5x7
honestly I know it sounds small but i really love this smaller size.... i'm going against everything every painting teacher i had told me.... but i don't care
oh and it's hot pressed paper with india ink and watercolour~ just gettign all the technical stuff out of the way.

also Long time since i've done Meriel

i don't know why i made her a little older but i did cause.... really i just waited to paint
i also had this one sketched as i waited for my last painting to dry so yeah... lots of art in a small time.... Honestly i'm not completely happy with the face but these back poses are always fun to draw

and like i said earlier i didn't go so colour crazy this time... i even used black even though it's something i almost never do... anyways

i may still darken things up a bit... black is a touchy colour to work with in watercolour especially since i added quite a bit of pink to it
hmmm mayb i'll do a companion piece to this one of Vincent.... her angel counterpart.... who knows.... only time will tell who i paint next... or inspiration...

anyways~
