SciFi and Fantasy Art Melian by Meagan Reid


	This is a painting I did though the scanning was terrible...it dulled all the colours and junk. Anyway this is Melian the Maia singing in the woods, perhaps of Lorien of old.

3 Nov 2002	Vane	Loading... "But he came at last to a glade open to the stars, and there Melian stood; and out of the darkness he looked at her, and the light of Aman was in her face." Very pretty, especially as the your colouring style here makes the piece look ancient.
11 Jan 2003	Acacia	Loading... If this is messed up, I'd love to see the original. This is very nice. (I'd say it looks more like Nan Elmoth than Lorien to me, except there was no Sun then so that must be Treelight. Unless she's going for a walk in Doriath..)
20 Dec 2003	Isilnar	Loading... Very pretty, though i wish we could see her face. I was just wondering about the texture if the canvas that's so visible. Maybe that's just the scanner, but do u prime ur canvas with gesso or something before u paint? Cuz i usually don't get that grainy look. Meagan Reid replies: "no, I do no priming. You see I'm self taught and have never had any instruction in acrylics, so I dont know a thing about priming... though I would dearly like to get the texture down a lot! Quite iritating when you can get as much detail because of it. Thanks for the comment!"
17 Feb 2004	Marco Müller	Loading... It´s a very peaceful painting. I like the dawning/dusking (I hope that word exists ) sky. I never used acrylics on a real canvas, yet. I can imagine the un-pimed canvas sucks up a lot of colour and it dryies very fast.
