Amazing artwork..once again.. every time when I visit your gallery Those mountain trolls makes me think of John Bauer's illustrations. Do you know his works? One of my favorite swedish illlustrators.
Girl looks like she is expecting something to happen. Viewer can almost feel the magical atmosphere I feature different kinds of fantasy artists in my blog once in a month would you be interested to get an interview there sometime? www.fairychamber.blogspot.com

Thank you!
Yes, in fact I absolutely love John Bauer's artworks and they often inspire me for my paintings.
But in that illustration I was actually more inspired by Theodor Kittelsen c:

I would be very flattered to answer to your questions!!

Yes, actually it the same thing that white gel pens, but in a bottle. Here is the brand I use : www.tvhland.com/vignette/mater…
It's rather practiful but sometimes it blends with watercolors' pigments and turns into blue...

Thank you!

The little shepherdess and the trolls have such a Kittelsen feel to them. And I love the colour the poppies have, we used to have similar coloured ones, they were rather huge.

This is just so beautiful! It really draws in the viewer and makes them wonder about the story and the characters. The colours are great, love the orange. And your skies are always amazing! I really like the way you've done the mountains - very troll-ish!

Thank you!
I must say I was a lot inspired by Kittelsen's trolls to draw them...

Ohhh il est mignonnnn !!
J'aime beaucoup le pelage du mouton et la petite bergère a un air d'Ariane malgré la couleur de ses cheveux !
Pour le troll, je pense que ce n'est pas flagrant XD
J'aime beaucoup cette petite touche d'orangΓ© qui se marie bien avec le vert !
