I started work on this painting two weeks ago in hopes of posting it on Christmas day but with all the hustle and bustle of the holidays–shopping, wrapping gifts, baking, and hosting visits with family and friends–I wasn’t able to complete it until today. This little holiday fairy proved to be more time consuming than I anticipated. Oh well, better late than never. Besides, the holidays aren’t officially over until New Year’s Day, right?
This painting is based on a tutorial featured in Linda Ravenscroft’s book, “The Fairy Artist’s Figure Drawing Bible.” Here are some close up shots of my painting. I really enjoyed painting her and working with such vibrant colors.
She’s wonderful!
Thank you, Elena.
She is amazing! I especially love the evergreens and beads.
Thanks, Cin, I like this painting, too.
She’s adorable Jill
Thank you, Angie.
So sweet…I’m amazed at what watercolours can do!! (well what you do with them that is..hehe)
Thank you, Shree. I like the vibrancy of the watercolors and the wide range of techniques and effects I can achieve with them.
So lovely, she has such a peaceful expression.
Thank you, Jen.
