Artist's Comments

Ok, so firstly I used stock, from the very talented artist :iconcountess-grotesque: her stock account is :icongrotesque-stock: and I used this pic. I’m going to enter it into her “elements” contest as “air”.

Obviously I love Mucha/art Nouvaeu but I’ve never tried to have a go of it, I really loved the stock picture I used for this, however I had no idea how to go about the background, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to try it out. I don’t think the hair came out as well as I would have liked, something about the way it doesn’t seem to have any strands freaked me out while I was painting it, I guess its hard to hide you’re mistakes this way. I’m slowing realising how unforgiving water colour paints are, but I’m still enjoying leaning how to use them.

It was a battle with my scanner trying to get the colours right, they still look weird compared to the original, I tried to take a photo, but that turned out just as dismal.

Its been very hot here lately, I spent all weekend bent over my kitchen table, sweating uncontrollably finishing this piece and I’m still not sure if I 100% like it or not. Such is life.
