Description
((took the watermark off, driving me nuts))First picture of 2009!
Weekend project, sadly enough. I did it over a two day span, and spent about 12 hours on it (and this was just the first layer). But since I don't think there is much at all that I will change, I'm submitting it now.
I think this is my favorite painting of mine to date. The whole time I was painting it I would start dancing around the living room because I was so excited about it. Mainly because I love the movie.
So I was watching the dvd of Ever After and saying how I should paint a picture like the cover some day because it's such an awesome photo. My mom says why don't I just paint that one. So I did. And I love it! So much color, and intensity, and such a feeling of tenderness, and I'm more excited that I get to have it in my room than anything.
And if you haven't seen Ever After, I suggest renting it. It's the best "real" telling of Cinderella I've ever seen.
Oil on canvas, 16x20 in.

It's totally a fantastic "Real" Fairy Tale
I couldn't help but just replayed and replayed it and watched again and again, the best Cindrella story I've ever known
And this is a traditional right? The colors are beautiful, I love the way you used them

It is awesome.
Yep, this is traditional, done with water-soluable oil paint. I had a ton of fun with the colors, too. I don't often get to use such a variety of intense hues like this, so I absolutely loved painting it.

This is really awsome!
I haven't try to make arts with oil paint yet, it must be very difficult~
I'm listening to the soundtrack of this movie all these days, it's just so enchanting~~
And, I'm also trying to make a sketch of Danielle,(when she wore that beautiful gown with wings)
Maybe you can visit me and see it then~

Oil actually isn't very hard at all. I find watercolor a lot harder, because you can't fix mistakes very easily. Oil is incredibly forgiving β you can layer the paint and cover up mistakes, or change things you don't like.

Ohh I see. Maybe I should try it sometimes when I have chance

Haha, thanks! All it really takes is practice, patience, and learning how to "see". Fortunately I had an amazing art teacher to help me with the last one.

this is a beautiful film and you have captured it perfectly

The film is indeed beautiful, one of my favourite childhood fairytales, so to speak. I know I loved it more than any other Cinderella rendition. And this painting is utterly gorgeous....I'm really astonished by it. Even if it weren't for the movie, I'd like to see it hanging somewhere on a wall, just to see it with my own eyes, to see the beautiful colours live.

Thank you so much. It's true that no photo can really capture an oil painting...if it were possible I wish I could share the real thing.

You're very welcome. And yeah, photos can be breathtaking too, but comparing a photo and a painting with the same subject..I dunno, the painting simply has a bit more of a soul in it.
