Description

This is the watercolor version of a scene I set up in Poser. http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1424427&member The main things I took from the Poser image are the composition (more or less), the pose, and the shadows. It's painted on heavy 300lb Arches watercolor paper with Winsor-Newton paints and some pen&ink. The size of the painting is 22x30" Comments are very welcome, although it isnt always possible to implement corrections in a watercolor painting. Thanks a lot to all who commented on the poser image and helped me get to this one. EDIT(05/30/07): I replaced the original version with a new one -this one is the signed and dated final.

I always prefer not to have any previous reference in this case, a Poser version in order to concentrate my attention in this: the final result. As Ive told you before, I dont know too much about watercolor techniques but I found this extremely well done, specially for the color treatment and the brush softness. I really think this is a gemstone, keep it in a safe place!

I have nothing but respect for those able to manipulate the medium of watercolor. I am simply terrible at best with watercolors. This is an amazing bit of work! I really love the soft colors, the wonderful lighting, and the fascinating composition. Great work indeed. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Although I did see the poser render, i did not recognize it in your picture here, the overall colors are very different. The watercolor version looks much better, it has a wonderfull light mood, which the render totally lacks. I like this soft and friendly image very much.

It has gotten really beautyful! The scene reminds me on the Empress of the Tarot-Cards. Wonderful!!

What a beautiful change of direction from the original render. Most particularly the things you did with the rocks sunk into the ground and the completely different lighting, the background trees, the flowers in the foreground, all very appealing and skillfully-done. Very rich and dreamy :)

Just popped by from reading your thread about using POser for art reference. You work s lovely ! I enjoy the way you've controlled you colours to set the mood for the piece here.

I do have to say that I liked the lighting of the render, but obviously, using watercolors, you weren't going for deep, opaque shadows. I do like the lighter approach you've taken here. It's funny how whimsical the scene appears until you scroll up to the oppressive looking canopy of trees. Don't know if you meant that, but it's an interesting contrast. You did a wonderful job here.
