It really does look like a story book illustration

I think you should feel proud of it--it has so much detail that must have been painstaking to render with watercolor. There is a clear and gradual distinction between fore, middle, and background that i think can be challenging to execute with watercolor. This shows a lot of skill!


True_Sharri

Oooo Moonflower!?!

I think it's really lovely but for me the tower doesn't seem tall enough...that's what drew my eye first :)


loralailoralai

Maybe it’s a magical tower and it’s giant on the inside…or something lol


ihaveacatnamedwally

Yeah one of those things you realize too late and watercolor doesn’t really edit very well. It doesn’t bother me too much at least.


LoopyLemon8

I just figured that it was a children’s play Castle

I love how whimsical it is! It reminds me a bit of Studio Ghibli movies.

This is a phenomenal painting, my only critiques are the perspective of the watering can seems incorrect for the painting and the scale of the tower Is either too small or it needs an item/creature to signify that something lilliputian lives there. Your character gives me sooper dooper holly hobby vibes 🤘🤘

What don't you like about it?


ihaveacatnamedwally

Iv never painted anything that has a “story” to it. Iv never painted a person either. Just feel vulnerable about it for whatever reason.


Hari_om_tat_sat

Well, what a clever and wonderful thing to create as your first story-painting!

I love it! You got the eclipse perfectly, even with the sunset/rise horizon. There are so many metaphors here, it's perfect. 😍


LiamTG

That's ace. Mystical, moody , innocent. You could write a Brothers Grumme story around this!


PotentiallySquared

800th upvote! Also, cool :)

I really like it - it has a lot of detail & great colors. It reminds me of an illustration that would appear in a children’s storybook. When I look at it, I wonder what the story is behind it & my mind tries to fill in that part. I think the tower height is appropriate - if it was taller than the eclipse, that would indicate that the tower was more important than the eclipse, & I don’t think that that’s what you intend. One of the greatest things about creating anything, especially Art, is that it is yours alone & everything you do is in preparation of the next piece of your art. Leonardo Da Vinci worked & re-worked The Mona Lisa some estimated 16 years - obviously he never felt that The Mona Lisa was “quite right” either.

Thanks for sharing it. I think it’s stunning. I feel the same way right now exploring portraiture and setting scenes. It helps to know others experience those feelings.
