You made really an epic piece of art! i love it!
Awesome artwork as usual :) I'm a big fan of your colorations!
So good! Very dynamic. Do you do mock up paintings/ color studies before you tackle the actual painting?
I can't believe I know someone who can do art this amazing.
Fabulous ! And all in watercolour too. Emily you are a maniac. Super job !
My apologies to all of you for allowing an entire month to pass before responding to your comments! Thank you for writing, and many thanks for your compliments.
Afazil, yes, I do usually do color studies before I paint, especially for a more complex image like this one. Sometimes I do them in Photoshop, sometimes I'll print out a little 5x7 image on watercolor paper and use gouache. They're always pretty messy...
Diana–you are way too kind!
Larry–Thank you! I don't think I've ever been called a maniac before, at least not in the positive sense!
Hey Emily,
really awesome Art!
How much time do you spend on this one? Only the working time..
-best Norman
Hi Norman!
I'm never very good at estimating how long it takes me to to a piece from start to finish. Including all the preliminary work (thumbnail sketches, final drawing, color study, etc.) maybe about three weeks for this one? Probably one work-week for all the drawing related stuff and about two to complete the painting.
