Description
So, I just made this one for a friend. I like the colors. It's really more of a purpley-blue, but the scanner is stupid. March 2008Related content

Sometimes. You can use just about anything with watercolors-salt, wax, wax paper, bleach, alcohol, milk....

You're welcome! You might think about checking out a book on watercolor, as it always helped me.

Thanks! I only wish I had taken a better picture of her....

That's a photo? Omg I thought it was a scan! That's really good for a photo, seriously. I've taken photos of my work, and they never seem to turn out. So I just scan them into photoshop, and readjust the levels.

I have a pretty good digital camera, but I hate my scanner b/c it never makes the pictures look right. I put a little masking tape on the back of the painting, attatch it to a large board, put the camera on my tripod, and set it up by a window with light, then set the camera's timer for ten seconds, and let it take the pictures. I play with the colors a bit with photoshop and crop the edges. It doesn't take as long as it sounds, but that's how I get the best results so far. Besides, my pictures are usually too big to put in the scanner. Hope this helps you to take good pictures too!

I've never tried out the tripod, then again, I don't have one. Right now, my scanner does a fairly decent job, but I'm afraid when I start making larger paintings, that the scanner just won't be able to work as well as a camera. Then again I could just scan section by section... oh the joys of print making

You're welcome. If you live in the states, you can buy a tripod at walmart for $15. Mine is as cheap as they come, and I've been using it for years. Definitely worth the money!

lovely....u did an awesome job with the folds of the dress^^

Thanks! It took a lot of work.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i bet, folds are very time consuming ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, but also the color. if the color isn't right, it doesn't matter how well I draw the folds, people won't "believe" that it's realistic. However, it's something everyone works on, yeah?

Thank you! I got the idea from another artist, but I don't know if they have a dA account, or I would link you to the picture. But it's a cool idea dontcha think?

I think I did. Look in my favorites for a fairy in front of a rose holding a rabbit.

I am speaking from my heart. I really enjoy your paintings and they really make me want to grab the brush :d (Thing I actually should do

Thank you! This was a bigger project than I usually do, as you already know. It's great to know that the work I put into this piece was worth it!

your welcome!
the two best ways to draw or paint are from love of someone else or the love of what you are creating.

You are so right! If I wasn't drawn to something in my painting in the first place, I have a hard time completing it.
