Senior year I had to move to a new state, new school. The school had this odd policy that if you adopted an art class you did one medium all year. I chose watercolor. I hated it. Naturally I produced some of my best painterly work. ^_^' This was a monochromatic assignment.
Comments/Discussion on water color technique/brush technique would be greatly appreciated. This took days of layering to get the sense of depth.

Sliverbane (Reply)Total Posts: 284Aug 6, 2004 4:48 pmDid you just compare me to the artists that work for Miyazaki's studio Gibli?!! *sweeeak* Heh.... No, I'm okay. I'm very flattered that my painting would evoke such a memory. Mononoke Hime is a great film with beautiful animation and that you would affectionatley compare my work to it makes me blush. Thank you. ^_^' --- Guano smells like a dirty sock full of old cheese and farts! - Gonard |

MoonDemonTotal Posts: 595Nov 13, 2005 1:31 pmOK, this is driving me crazy so I have to ask about it. I can see a face put together by the trees, I see the eye as being made by the branch on the left about a quarter of the way down from the top. Should I check myself into a mental institute or can anyone else see it as well? Oh and this is truly beautiful Silverbane so don't think I'm just interested in my imagened image. --- THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!! |

Sliverbane (Reply)Total Posts: 284Jan 21, 2007 1:51 pmThat's the silly thing about it. I complained the whole semester...but as you can see I did rather well. Thanks for the comment. --- Guano smells like a dirty sock full of old cheese and farts! - Gonard |
