Here's JL's gift for 200 page views. He requested something mucha-esq. I hope I did okay.
It looks better in real life, but hey.
Watercolor and ink.

can definitely see the mucha-esque-ness of it
though i think the one side of the face and the hand are a bit out of proportion or something
the feet are really goodly done tho

The way the body is tilted, the left eye should be either level with the right, or lower. I had the same problem in one of my pieces, only reversed :P. Other than that, it's bueatifully done, I especially like the sleeves and the texure the paint suggests.

She's incredibly beautiful. And there have been only very few people who ever took pains to create something that beautiful for me. I owe you something :-)

I especially like her hair and the colouration. My old attempts at watercolour mostly resulted in a mess. Yours merge beautiful, especially in her gown and some of the subtle shadings.

It took the aged PC at my work place about a minute to load the full view. Has been a very sensual experience :-)

How large is the original?

Best regards :+fav:

You like?
*is very relieved*
:D :hugs:

The original is actually only 5"x11", but when I scanned it, it came up as 1000 some pixels by 3000 some.

Sorry the backgrounds such a mess. It's my very first (!)

Yes, this is true. I noticed the disproportionate hands half-way through inking, however, and was quite averse to using white out. I decided that perhaps I could get away with it lol :)
Thank you, the feet are based on the ones in his Moet et Chandon painting, of which I have a 1 foot by 3.5 foot poster hanging in my room. Twas a good part of my inspiration for this piece.

Thanks

Did I say anything negative about the background? It does its job of being a background very well. And it's still nice while looking at it. The orange rocks :-)

You really did a great job. And I'm serious, I owe you some. Now do something equally beautiful for yourself, wìll you? :hug:

Read you!

Lol, of course not! You'd never say anything remotely negative about this, or I'd have your head! Except not, being that you're in Germany. And I'd be laughing too hard.

:D :D :D
