I've been working on my new painting for a number of sessions now and feel like sharing how far I've gotten :)
It is obviously not done yet.
I'm beginning to get real excited about it! The hardest parts are yet to come, hihi. Seriously going to challenge myself
And I'm seriously not certain I can pull it off. Fingers crossed!

Nice painting .

Even though I'm feeling a bit under the weather I've painted a bit.
I corrected the hairline, worked on the background (that needs another layer here and there) and started with the dragon.
The latter is a bit of trial and error to see what works and what doesn't, and how to get the effect I'm after.

What remains for the girl is some fine detail and the tiara. Although I'm not sure anymore whether I want that or not.
I might get rid of it altogether, not sure.

Keep up the good work .

Thank you Julie :)

Did a bit of work today while my li'l kitten was at the vet's to get spayed/neutered (female kitten).
Didn't paint for long as I was tired but also cause I had to go pick up my little Roosje again! All went well, thank goodness.

Painting isn't done yet, but made some nice progress :)
I'm glad I decided to go for the tiara because I now see I can pull it off and I now know what corrections it needs before I finish it of.
But even as it is I'm liking it!
Dragon isn't done yet either.

Keep up the good work .

Thank you, Julie!

I've worked on it a few days ago, finished off the webs on the dragon, added her top and worked on the tiara.
Last night worked on those again.

Some subtle highlights on her top and I painted droplets on the tiara. I'm adding a close-up so you can see better what I've been doing.

I'll do a bit more of that so it has more depth, but not each 'droplet' as that's almost undoable.

Oddly enough it doesn't seem like much yet it took me 2 hours to do :o

Today's work on the tiara.
And dang, I'm starting to like it more and more, hihi.
Adding a close-up as in the small picture it's a bit difficult to see.

Good job .

Thank you!

Getting close to calling it a finished painting! I only have to work on some details and then it's done.

Can’t wait to see the finished painting .

Thank you, Julie!
No big changes anymore. And depending if the potential buyer I got wants it or not...
Keeping my fingers crossed that he indeed goes for it!

Good luck .

Thank you! He wants to wait till end of the month. Fingers crossed!

Wow your artwork is so amazing!!! And what you did with the before and after on that dragon dude looks so cool.

My youngest self-taught herself to draw digitally and i sit there sometimes for hours watching her canvas stuff, from small traces to the done thing.

Love art..

Thank you so much!

Currently not painting.
When spring arrived there was a ton of work to do in the garden.
And I had an inflamed ankle that to the wind out of me for 2 months as I could barely walk. Had to sit with my foot up all the time, so couldn't paint either.

It'll come :)
As it is I've got some other create things done like making a cathouse and next is making a 70cm tall Archangel statue for the garden :D

this is something my 13 year old daughter did the other day.
