Watercolor on Watercolor board. I had a dream about this image, so I had to wake up and paint it. I'm rather pleased with it, and I liked the idea of comparing fairies to butterflies.

Wow, aren't dreams the best inspiration? I actually had a dream last night of an awesome concept, and I'm going to draw it soon. Well, beautiful work! I love the coccoon and the skin tones.

Almost perfect. Colouring and shading is flawless, the background fits the theme perfectly. Skin tone is amazing, as well as her facial expression. Although I do like the colouring and the material of the cocoon a lot, I do not see how this would be able to hold a half hatched fairy, I mean, she does have some weight, which would make the strings of the cocoon more stretched or there would be another branch needed that supports the cocoon. I am also unsatisfied with the way the hair folds, because there is a U turn in the hair I can not really explain the reason of.

Still my impression of it is: breathtakingly soft and intimate.

Exquisite, Beautiful. This has inspired me: What if fairies are like mermaids before they get their wings, you know, like half caterpillar then they build a cocoon and hatch into beautiful fairies2 Thanx2

This is so beautiful, but if a fairy would come from a cocoon, one wonders what was the previous stage??? Now that’s something to think on perhaps.
