Description She was picking up seashells and starfish at low tide, when she noticed her reflection doing the same.


Done pretty quickly, since there aren't a lot of details, mostly just colors blending into each other
It's a christmas gift (pretty early I know) for my grandmother.
It's also going into my Storybook portfolio!

*constructive criticism please*!!!

Pretty nice! You are most deffinately more skilled at Watercolour than me! haha

I would suggest on a piece like this to add some ink details. It might be more difficult on a high tectured paper like this, but I think a thin, small point pen would sufice. You could also try the new "pen-brushes," and I've actually found that liquid ink with a brush or speedball dip pen is not all that bad (and relatively easy to get a hang of at some length!)

At any rate, keep making art!

That is amazing! The colors look great, and the reflection looks perfect! Just my opinion, but I think it would look even cooler if you added the reflection of the lighthouse. Either way, very well done!

Very cute You mix the colours nicely and I think you have a way with watercolours. If you want constructive feedback, one thing I'd say is to treat the foreground, middleground and background slightly differently. You have all those here, but the depth gets a little lost because the close foreground has a very similar treatment (through the amount of paint, the way the colours are mixed, the colours used, the amount of detail etc) to the distant background. Also, the black on the lighthouse is too dark I think, and this means it takes focus away from the middle which is the main subject. But I think you're on your way, just keep experimenting! There's nothing wrong with "flat" works as opposed to one with depth - this one is just somewhere inbetween. Hope any of this helps

This is very well drawn. I like the lighthouse and the girl. However the starfish looks like it is floating on water or it doesn't have water at all. Also the line where the water meets the sky looks connected. not separated. good job though

MajorWhoaButWhy [2011-11-13 21:34:43 +0000 UTC]

Beautiful! I love how serene the colors are, and how the purple of her bag and the red of the starfish really stand out.
