Description I'm alive! Just been busy. Hopefully I update my journal with the details soon.

I noticed I tend to do "season" pieces when the season in question is almost over. Oh well.

Watercolor, colored pencils and ink on Bristol. 11x14". Details can be seen at mariawilliam.net/prelude-detai… Original sold, prints available.

this is nice. The way you use color pencil seems way different from how I use it.

Hmm...is it just me, or has your style changed a little from the last time you posted on here? I notice the lines are a little bolder, more cartoonish. It looks good, just different. And wow! A colored work! It's been a while! Fantastic as always.

MJWilliam In reply to Wynterstoops [2008-09-02 11:59:11 +0000 UTC]

I wouldn't say it changed. I used the same technique and materials as here: [link] (and a bunch of others before). maybe it's the scan. Glad you like it!

Wynterstoops In reply to MJWilliam [2008-09-03 08:15:18 +0000 UTC]

Yeah...maybe it is just the scan. The image is extraordinarily clear. You must have one awesome scanner. What kind is it?

It's actually a run o' the mill 8x11" HP. But it does the job.

Wynterstoops In reply to MJWilliam [2008-09-04 07:25:28 +0000 UTC]

A really good one. Maybe I should get that brand or something. Lord knows my camera isn't the best way to go about getting my art on here.

I switched to HP after my Epson stuff kept dying on me. Couldn't be happier now. And it's not even that expensive.

Think of them as "remembering the season" pictures.

As for the oil, I've been working on it, but it's still not done. Too many commissions and distractions (but I guess that's a good thing, LOL).
