Ok, so firstly I used stock, from the very talented artist her stock account is and I used this pic. Im going to enter it into her elements contest as air.
Obviously I love Mucha/art Nouvaeu but Ive 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 dont think the hair came out as well as I would have liked, something about the way it doesnt seem to have any strands freaked me out while I was painting it, I guess its hard to hide youre mistakes this way. Im slowing realising how unforgiving water colour paints are, but Im 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 Im still not sure if I 100% like it or not. Such is life.
many thanks, its been hard trying to come up with more noveau stuff, you're right, it can be over powering, but i'm totally adicited to it now, it takes weeks for me to finnish anything! lol
thanks for the comment!!
