~zefiraelRain : xDD yeah.
=Anjellyjoy I'd totally die...... ideally I'd paint a duck in a pond...haha
------------------------------------------------
And it all started. I decided that since I was a little out of practice with paintings, I'd paint something before I work on the prizes for Spinechilling Words. I've got to admit, water is really fun to paint. (:

Wow! That is fantastic! I just... wow. You really can't understand how hard it is to do something amazing like this until you try something similar yourself. Talk about the ultimate fail.

How did it turn out?

Well, try to imagine a large pool of different coloured paint. Then imagine someone sat in it, multiple times. And then run it over by a semi-truck.

Oooo...this is just lovely I love the soft watercolor feel it has to it, it's a very peaceful picture. The color scheme is great, and I love how you painted the lighting on the duck The petals on the water are a nice touch as well...my only suggestion is maybe they could be blended in to the painting a little more, maybe a little extra shadowing underneath them or reflections on the water?
Very nice work though

the water looks nice. the outlines on the duck might be a bit hard though.

I understand what you mean... it was more of a techniques thing for me. I painted the reflection before I painted the duck but it wasn't until I finished painting the duck that I realised the reflection was way too faded. I suppose if the reflection had been darker, then the outline wouldn't have been so hard? I'll definitely keep this in mind for next time.

Haha yeah... my masking fluid is going to dry out soon if I don't start some serious painting sprees. ==" Well actually it isn't... there's still quite a lot of moisture left... but I'm painting heaps less nowadays due to homework. *sigh* What the school does to a person. =/
