[Art] Okay, I kind of forgot to have a nap.

Got too excited to start the colouring process.
NOW I'm going to have a nap.
But here, have the beginning of the colouring;
a watercoloured moreton bay fig
with only three colours in it.


The Bronze Forest

Goddess bless. This is amazing. I can't wait to see this when it's finished.

Do you intend to have prints available of this at any point?

Prints of the BW are already available (on one of the previous posts), but I definitely plan on making prints of the coloured version available too. :)

Omg, there's MORE? And now with colour?!

Pardon me. *dies of awesome*

[moonvoice]

Yes with colour!!! :D Seriously, it's going to be EPIC. Well, if I can get it all 'right.' Right now it's in the seriously scrappy stage where it's getting scrappily coloured and then gets refined later.

The tree is so lifelike in colour! I think this is going to turn out to be one of the most awesome pieces of art I've ever seen.

[moonvoice]

Wow, thank you! I hope so. The whole thing is going to be in browns, with bronze metallic highlights around the trees; hopefully it can be as epic as it looks in my head.

Wow you are truly an amazing artist :-D!

[moonvoice]

Thank you so much. :)

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

That tree looks incredible. I can't wait to see more pictures of the coloring process. This is so cool!

[moonvoice]

There will be more pics of the colouring process! Though I really hate sharing pictures of the watercolour pencil stage, because the colouring looks so scrappy; but I have committed, and there shall be more WIP shots!

[moonvoice]

Wow, thank you! :D

This piece is another of yours that I feel doesn't really need colour -- it's quite magical in black and white. However! The brown is already beautiful. Very rich. I'll look forward to seeing how the rest of it develops.

I think if I was leaving it black and white, I'd have added a ton more contrast (mostly a lot darker on the right-hand side, with a clear sense of light coming in from the left, behind the big tree).

It's mostly just looking scrappy right now.
