Description Full view/zoom in for brushstrokes etc.!
This cute little bunny was like a practice piece to get me back into oil painting after a long absence - didn't take long to do, and it was really fun and easy-going! Can't wait to do more paintings - I hope you like this one!

The title is inspired by the song by Blur - it's 10 years since the height of Britpop, so I've been re-acquanting myself with them. (Besides, I couldn't think of a good title)

Your puppy avatar attracted my four year old daughter to want to see more. She likes your avatar and your "oh, so cute little bunny" too. Great work here. We are enjoying it thus far.

aw thank you, that's really sweet! I'm really pleased that you both liked my work!
The puppy in my avatar is a character called Sweep from 'The Sooty Show', if your daughter really likes him, maybe you could look into getting some dvds? [link]

whisperwolf [2005-10-20 15:32:12 +0000 UTC]

This is gorgeous! I love the softness of the bunny and how you really have captured its fur so well.. the brushstrokes running in the right direction and with all the different tones of browns adding depth and highlights to the fur.. I wish I could do fur like that, it's a really difficult texture to achieve but you have got it perfectly! I also love how it's eye looks sort of glazed and it's such a pretty rabbit! Awww its so cute And with the contrasts against the green plants in the background.. the whole piece just works really well. Well done! Sorry I've taken so long to comment on it!

blossomcrown In reply to whisperwolf [2005-10-20 15:57:58 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much for your long comment, I'm really glad you like it! It is a very pretty rabbit ^^ I actually found fur quite easy to paint, at least in comparison with its alternative, skin (though that is my favourite thing to paint anyway)

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

whisperwolf In reply to blossomcrown [2005-10-20 16:43:43 +0000 UTC]

Actually I do agree that skin is difficult.. although I haven't ever tried painting skin before.. I find it difficult enough to draw though! But you're so good at painting people so it's no wonder it's your favourite thing to paint! You're welcome

whisperwolf In reply to blossomcrown [2005-10-30 03:11:31 +0000 UTC]

Aww yeah you really should do! Of course it's difficult when you're busy with A-level art to find the time to draw/paint for your own leisure.. in my experience anyway.

aneesah [2005-10-17 15:06:32 +0000 UTC]

Eeeeeeee, I love bunnies! (I go all childish with butterflies and bunnies and kitties.) I really, really like ths strokes; I've just thought of doing real stroke-y paintings after seeing some paintings here the other day, so far I've only done watercolour-y stuff. No oil paints, though.

Really great job, a favourite!

blossomcrown In reply to aneesah [2005-10-18 11:41:31 +0000 UTC]

aww thanks so much! I too have a weakness for all things cute and pretty
Painting with heavy strokes is fun, and especially good for painting fur - you should definitely give it a try, as you should oil paints. To me, oils are really easy and watercolours difficult to control

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

aneesah In reply to blossomcrown [2005-10-18 13:08:06 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, watercolours are whole 'nother thing all on its own. I probably won't be able to try out oils (the paints are expensive ), but I'll try with acrylics and maybe tempera or something.

You're welcome!

suddenly a rabbit ran straight past her. Now there was nothing very odd about that, nor did she think it very ordinary when the rabbit said "oh dear... im going to be late!"

With all the painting I do, I think it's got easier for me than drawing/shading - I haven't done a simple graphite piece in so long I think I'd be incapable now

this painting is really amazing...i love the shading and highlights in the rabbits fur, making fur look realistic can be really intimidating (or it is to me, at least!)

awesome job!

thank you for such a lovely comment! I'm sure you'd be great at making fur, it's quite simple with a firm brush and several layers of colour
