Cynthia Rudzis 2002-08-02 I love the technique! The details are wonderful.   stan wisniewski 2002-08-02 April, very nice technique. The vivid blue in the background brings it all together.   (April Lee) Well... I think I overuse that particular blue... I think it's "Indigo" FW Acrylic Inks, with some "Purple Lake" and plain black sprayed over (airbrushed). Inks--especially these dye-like colors, can be pretty intense, particularly with the white of the board coming through a bit. The colors also get popped a bit more in the scans--but I do tend to go for pretty intense colors...! Dekel David Oved 2002-08-02 beautiful! i too use a very similar technique. but slightly different subjects. :)   (April Lee) painting process--step by step I have a sort of step-by-step (big steps, but it's better than nothing) of this painting up at my website. It also covers the commissioning process a bit. Just go to: http://aprillee.tripod.com/artprocess.htm Vera Lucia Emerim 2002-08-02 April, this is gorgeous!!!   Dan Mills 2002-08-03 Nicely done! I admire anyone who can paint this well with acrylics.   (April Lee) painting with acrylics... This would look a bit different if I were using regular acrylic paints with a paint-brush only. The airbrush helps smooth out the color quite a bit. And I've got some mixed media in there: colored pencils, which also are sometimes a bit easier to control that acrylic. The paintings I have that are purely acrylic, using a brush, are: "Butterfly Demon Sword" and "Twilight Hunters" Lipták László 2002-08-05 Amazing concept! and I thank your help (IllNet list)   Ihsan Alnasrawi 2003-02-19 This is absolutely stunning - the colours are amazing and the level of detail keeps the eyes gazing for ages, the materials are also fabulous - expert job, very well done!   Gwynne Jones 2003-02-28 Your step-by-step of the development of this piece was enlightening and fascinating, April! Thanks for all your hard work and critiques on the WIP, and for great images like this. Her lazy lounging is just fabulous. Cheers!   (April Lee) I've been off-line a lot lately, busy with work and trying to set up a working computer system. Hopefully I'll get back to making WIP comments soon! Thanks for your nice comments! Jenny Gunter 2006-02-20 Wow. This is so pretty and detailed. Only thing odd about it is she looks like she's about to slip and fall out of her throne. Maybe it's the angle. Anyway, the rest of it is lovely. For some reason her left foot is really eye catching; I love it^^   Post a Comment
