Keri Rodriguez 2005-04-25 Her gown is amazing!!!!!!!!!! I can almost feel the fabric! Just Gorgeous!   (Norma Peters) I love working on fabric. Thanks! Donna Bond 2002-08-28 GREAT POEM GREAT ART One of my favourite poems ever! And I really think this picture does it justice. Her gown looks so airy and I really like the fae sparkles around her. How on earth did you make the background?? That is wicked cool!   (Norma Peters) Thanks, Donna! The background was done in Painter 7. I set the paper on one of the "crackle" textures, smeared a few colors onto the canvas, then blended them very carefully using the "big frosty water" option. When I do this, I manipulate the adjustments for grain, opacity, brush size, etc. because if I don't I just get big blobby smears of paint. ^_^ Sita Atis 2002-08-31 Thanks for telling about the background, it's a really great effect, and the dress really matches with it, the dress is absolutely gorgeous   (Norma Peters) Thank you, Sita, for the lovely comment. Alina Chimanovitch 2002-09-28 ephemerally beautiful I think my favorite part of the picture, other than the picture itself, is the transperancy effect you achived on the skirt of the dress, so that her legs show through. I also like the silky, touchable look of her hair.   (Norma Peters) Thanks! I airbrushed her skirt very carefully, with the airbrush tool set on very low opacity. Walt Bayless 2002-10-03 Beautiful painting, and I think I dated this one... yikes! Looking at your work reminds of Enya. Very magical.   (Norma Peters) Thank you very much, Walt. Enya...that's very high praise indeed if my pictures bring her music to mind. ^_^ Ihsan Alnasrawi 2003-03-19 This is fantastic work - the subject is beautiful and I love the way you've given the impression of a sheer material for the dress. The more roughly painted background is particularly outstanding. Truly fabulous composition, excellent :)   (Norma Peters) You're very kind. This picture evolved, composition-wise, as it was being drawn. :) aaa aaaa 2004-01-11 You have a lovely gallery Norma, full of interesting and well rendered personalities. I like your considered and 'restrained' use of colour ( some artists fantasy work can be like an explosion in a paint factory ). This one is my favourite,a beautifully rendered character from one of my favourite poems.   (Norma Peters) Thank you for the lovely comment. I deeply appreciate it. Post a Comment
