Thanks for the critique - you have quite aptly picked up on of my pet hates with this piece, if you look at the early drawing in the build up their is a simple grace to the figure and the hands and face balance well - this disappeared during the working with tea and ink and oneof the destructive things about the way I work is that I can only lighten .. I suppose it's the same with most watercolour painters but painting is not my strong point. One of the things I am most pleased about is your comments about colour... I have no confidence with colour and my recent work has deliberately tried to tackle this, I am glad that you think this is one of the strong points as I hope it means my work is developing.
Thank you so much for your time writing this critique - Carne

Oh this Is really something! I am definitely going to have a go at something like this now. The border of vegetation is amazing. From looking at the W.I.P. II the figure would have benefited from keeping some highlights. Like those upon the hand. Without them it has ended up a little flat. Mostly I just love the colour play it is perfect.

The details of all the lines here is mind blowing to me, and I love the small splash effects. I could stare at it for hours.

I'll never be able to resist any of your wonderful work, Carnegriff. Thanks for the 'detail' thumbs too. This is terrific, as usual. Terrific plants add to this figure in a marvelous way. Thank you.
