Description
Watercolors, 23 x 16 cmSpeedpainting about 1h, that's very fast for me, as normally I use detail brushes very much. For this painting I used mostly a 3cm wide brush.
(Well in case it's not recognizable: It's lava meeting the sea and a dragon perfectly disguised in the scene.)

I'm not quite sure I see the dragon, but the colours are very appealing, and the composition is simply fascinating. I wish I could do speedpainting like this

Yeah you can't see the dragon because he hid perfectly
But thanks!

You should be speedpainting more!
I think this is possibly my favourite of all your paintings I've seen* - I *love* the colours glowing out of the dark, and personally, I'm a sucker for paintings that are a bit mysterious-like and where you can't necessarily make out every detail. Good stuff!
*I hope you're not offended/disappointed/crestfallen if I say that...

Haha, no I'm not. But personally I still like detailed stuff more. Though this lookes quite nice on the shelf in my room, especially from the distance.

I just think the colours really work.
I just did a bit of a speedpainting (or rather, abstract slashing of paint on canvas) exercise myself, which then turned out to want to be the Tombs of Atuan illustration I've just submitted in my gallery. I found that working that way, it was a lot easier for me to control the lights/darks, and colours, and shapes, in a way that works as a whole picture, than it is usually, for me, when I think a lot about the details, the individual figures and bits and pieces that go into the image, and what colours and values they need to be, for purely intellectual reasons - if that makes sense?
Don't know if you can relate to the problem... (maybe that's what they learn in Art School, sigh)

Speedpainting, you

Thank you very much. Well I will have to rely on speedpaintings a bit more in the future I fear...

I didn't recognize what it was in the first place, but the colors are amazing! It's impressive

Haha yeah I thought it was not too recognizable, but that wasn't my main aim in this one. I have just very little time lately, so I try to do small quick paintings...
