Venus
Ok so I went to my art class at the cancer center today and took some reference photos with me. I was gonna try to do the water lily in acrylic but the teacher decided she wanted us all to try pastels. Well I came to the conclusion it isn't my medium of choice but it was entertaining to say the least. So then...(writing a book for ya'll.. laugh.gif ) I decided to come home re-draw the picture and color it in water color pencils. I really like it sooo much more than the pastel picture. Sorry the pastel picture is at the class unfinished so I can't give a preveiw of it at the moment. Its gonna be another two weeks until I go to the class again so ya'll will just have to wait. biggrin.gif Anyways I was bored and liked my picture and wanted to know what everyone's opinions were on it...thanks for taking the time and looking. wub.gif

Really love it.

Very nice but you may want to resize it smaller other wise it takes forever to load for those of us still stuck on dial-up.

This is lovely Venus. It almost looks like stained glass with the intense colours.

My only suggestion would be to try to even out the background in the water and leaves a little as it seems a bit rough.

Good job. I'll look forward to seeing the pastel version. smile.gif
woo

Nice one, Venus! I keep saying that I would like to do a water lily. I'm with you with pastels. I like them as a medium but they make my hands dry & almost crack. I keep intending to get some oil pastels or maybe the pastel pencils - so many great media to try! lol

Very nice Venus! A very volumptious velvety feel.

Try saying that one three times! laugh.gif

Very nice, the use of color to create shadows and depth is relly nice. Keep up the good work.
