*yawn* Work, yay. -_-' It went well enough albeit slightly boring today...

Other than that though, I am such an industrious slacker. How can I spend four hours reading a different book while one of the summer reading books sits less than two feet away from me? I amaze myself sometimes. And not in the good way. Tomorrow = day of reading about transcendentalism. >_<

Anyways, the real reason for my post is that I finished a new picture for my Masters of Their Field story. And it's watercolor. I haven't done watercolor in about two years. O_o Y'see when my family moved from New Jersey to New Hampshire halfway through my sophomore year, my Art 2 class had yet to start wc. I'd personally bought my supplies though so figuring I'd use them eventually, I packed my pad of paper, brushes, and paints into my art supply box and largely forgot their existence. A little over a month ago, I found them again, and decided to have a romp down memory lane. Overall, I really like how this came out, especially the skin tones which turned out decent. Watercolor's definitely my color medium of choice. *grin*



Whoo, I figured out how to use the scrapbook! (Click to view it larger.)


Next time expect a character post centered around Count Jean-Marie (including a watercolor of him) since I loves him so.

Oh, wow, that's amazing! It must have taken so much patience to work with the watercolors like that. *claps* Bravo!

I'm glad you liked it! Yeah, it did. Mainly because I haven't used watercolors in forever, and I was worried about screwing it up. I actually had to recall perspective too. It's been ages since I've done a complete background. *facepalm*

I've tried working with watercolors, but they came out horrible. Bleh. It worked out beautifully.

I did my best stuff when I took Art in high school, but I'm too impatient to take my time like I did for that class.

Wow, it's pretty much the opposite for me. I did well, but I hated having to perform on command and with a time limit.

We could work on the various projects during class and take as much or as little time as we liked.

;__; Man, I wish they let my classes do that! What kind of projects did you mostly like to do?

I did a project that was half regular pencil and half colored pencil. It's in my DevArt gallery.

This pic turned out beautifully, especially the lighting. And I've heard that watercolors can be a bitch to work with. 0o Kudos, indeed.
And yay, Jean-Marie! *squeak*

Thank you! The lighting was fun to do. I'm so glad I decided to put the candle there. *grins*

And I've heard that watercolors can be a bitch to work with.
Yes, yes, they have their moments. Arrgh, the BLENDING! O_<

Thank you, cherie. I'm very flattered you liked it.

Oh and I would love to see something Jean-Marie...
I thought you would. He's going to get one heck of a post: background, art, the whole shebang!

OMFG! YOU'RE EVEN AMAZING IN WATERCOLOR! *LOVES* That's talent!
You are remarkable! I really would love to see more!! :DDDDD
I can't color with watercolors for Scheiße! XDDD *I'mnotworthybow*

Haha, thank you! I'm v. happy I rediscovered this medium. Although unfortunately, I can't paint with anything else to save my life. XD

Thank you again, and there will certainly be more. Once I work the last few kinks out of the ending, there'll be another plot post. I'm also planning two group shots of the soldiers (one for the French, one for the British) which might end up as watercolors if I get my butt down to the art store and buy bigger sheets of paper.

Well even if ya can't, you still do madasscrazyawesome computer coloring. And you know how much I worship that! *clings*

Ooooh! A group shot! I totally look forward to that! *LOVES*
And just because you're so awesome, I'm gonna draw you some gift art~! Mwahhahah SLASH?
Keep up the good stuff!

Oh, my goodness. Watercolor. O_o *gawks* I was always terrified of that medium. You're a brave, brave woman. XD

Also, I found something that might be of interest to you here:

Oh goodness. ^^; I'm thinking of accepting this little challenge. XD

Thank you! It's certainly a...difficult medium at times, but I am unhealthily fond of it. -_-'

Oooh. *purr* I might just have to give that challenge a go. *grins*
