I'm in such a good mood today, I finished the 'Water Goddess' for my series of the elements.. and she turned out exactly how I wanted!!
I'm planning on starting the Fire element next.. I already have the sketch done for her, I just need to tweak it a bit.. and then I'll be painting her. Earth will be last, I have a picture in my mind of what she will look like, and I'll probably start sketching her soon..
I get more excited with every painting I do, I'm so addicted to watercolor.. and with each painting I can see my skill improving, I've only bee using watercolor for 9 months.. and I will admit it was frustrating trying to learn on my own.. but it definitely worth the effort, and the patience.
As you can see from the photos below of the painting in progress.. it takes many many layers of paint to get it built up to what the finished product is.. I probably put about 5 layers on the hair alone.. the skin was more layers, starting with very light washes. I'll try to keep my camera close by for the next few paintings, so those who are interested can see the process.
Bye for now :)
