Description A sleepless night can do you wonders... well not always.

My first painting of 2010.

A Sea Horse for .'s March theme.

The colors are somewhat different in person, especially the blues. The peachy orange of the frame is somewhat different in person too.

watercolors, watercolor pencils, a whilte gel pen, fineliners, extra rough watercolor paper.

I'm not sure if I can still call it an ACEO as I added a little frame to it..

with frame: 8,2x10 cm
without frame: 6,5x9 cm

Comments are appreciated and welcome, critique too.

So gorgeous!
I love how you have the tail wrapped like that!
The details of the, um, I'm not sure if you can call it "skin" but the "skin" of the seahorse is really nicely done! >U<

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it.

Your colours and details of the subject are very wonderful!
I really love the delicate colour tones! The sea looks so fresh and calm! ♥

I admire the way you handle watercolours; so well and beautifully! :}

Also, I like the black outlining and the frame you added looks very nice!

Have you ever thought of getting your work licensed and with an agent? I can see these designs as greeting cards and other stationarey product

Binnus In reply to BlueBirdie [2010-03-10 20:46:28 +0000 UTC]

Not really. I don't really know how it's done in Hungary..


Do you know how you get your work licensed in the US?
(I'm just curious.)

Ah! I'm sorry I haven't commented on this piece, I fav-d it at work he he he. Anyway, I really like it because I think this little seahorse has some serious cute going on and the blue against the orange/red sand color of it's flesh and the plant are great. I think one of your greatest strengths is how clean your colors and washes are. That being said, since you requested a critique my only comment is that I wish there were a little more contrast in his body. But contrast and watercolours are not the best of friends hahaha. Anyway, I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling sick, I hope you feel better, and I hope you keep painting this year. ^^

No problem, I appreciated the fave anyway.

By contrast do you mean that the patterns should be more distinct? I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

I think I coul've used darker browns and the patterns could be more defininte.. I was also thinking about bubbles, but I got scared of ruining the whole picture.

Egy festmény tőled! Yay!
Jól néz ki, tetszik a kihúzás meg a csikóhal mintázata.
(Érdekes textúrája van ennek a papírnak is.)

Köszi

Örülök, hogy tetszik a hatalmas "festményem"

Tényleg érdekes textúrája van, szerintem a vízhez most pont jól megy. Ugyanilyen papírt használtam a kis gepárdos ACEOhoz, de azon szerintem nem tesz semmit a ké.phez.

your color choices are wonderful very complimentary

i might vary the width of the outline of the plant a little - just a thought

your unique style comes shining through as always

Binnus In reply to Cmac13 [2010-03-09 20:00:29 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much!

I didn't deliberately make the colors complimentary, but I just checked my color wheel and you're right.
I'm really glad you like it.

The width of the outlines is varied a little bit, but maybe a bit too randomly.

Cmac13 In reply to Binnus [2010-03-09 21:26:03 +0000 UTC]

more variety of the outline might give the plant more volume

not much outline is needed to distinguish the plant from your delicious blue background either

but then, i'm a cranky old lady who does not come close to your talent so take my suggestions with a grain of salt

how do you like working in such a small size? with the unbelievable detail you apply, it must be easier, no?

Binnus In reply to Cmac13 [2010-03-10 20:36:25 +0000 UTC]

I may experiment with outlines a bit more in future. I didn't feel particularly brave to experiment on the rough surface of the watercolor paper I used here though.

I feel really comfortable with this size. I think I'll try to play around with this format a bit more. I have some plans
I love tiny details and textures.. and it's time efficient too.

Ugyan. Egyébként bármilyen kommentnek örülök.
Amióta úgy is lehet favolni, hogy meg sem nézed a képet rendesen, csak a miniatűrre klikkelsz, azóta főleg jobban értékelem a kommenteket.

Nálam sem túl gyakori, hogy összeszedett, értelmes hozzászólásokat írjak. A szándék a fontos
