SciFi and Fantasy Art: Niniel´s first morning

Why hasn't anyone commented on this, the figure is quite etherial streching out in the sunrise like that! The colours are very pretty and reminds me of the sunrises we have been having here lately. I love the textures of the grass it just makes me want to reach in and touch it! Great work on the water colour! ^_^

Beautiful and serene! The grass looks so lush, and it's such a neat pose...you captured the flow of Tolkien's prose very well here. Almost makes me want to try my hand at watercolor.

Wonderful serene mood! For some reason, I get the very exact impression of sunrise on Midsummer's Day somewhere in Finland (which is all right and proper, Tolkien himself was very fond of this lil' country)... blast me if I know why. The trees in the background could be a bit more, uh, tree-like.
Hanna´s reply: Yeap, that´s one of the bad sides in textured watercolor paper, drybrush technique was said to work especially well in tree bark (no- one mentioned that if tried on textured paper the result is a close to a disaster... Always learnig new.) I didn´t try to fix those, it would´ve only gotten worse ) If you mean the small trees, they look like mushrooms, I know... )

Quite beautiful. The figure in the middle blends so well with her surroundings while also standing out (if that's not too contradictory). Really impressive, especially for watercolors. The trees in the foreground are nice especially with the dangling branches like willows. The rocks are cool too. I must admit, I just love shading, so I love your rocks

Love the way she is streatching, its exactly the same movement I do, but she is better looking than me

Gotta love this picture... Though the lady seems more like a statue than living 8/ But thats okay, the colouring is great

I love the way you work with watercolors... especially the blending. Oooh, the blending. Anyways, it's a great picture ^_^.
