Something I worked on for aggggeeesss in the past few months. The photo came out terribly, and I can't tell you how much I abused Photoshop trying to get it to look somewhat like the original. (Please, I don't care what anyone says, I'll take scanning in pieces over photos anyday.) The colors are still pretty far off from the original, which I just... can't seem to fix.

This file looks... so... terrible. If I can somehow create a better version of it, but for now this is all I have. Augghhh, so much of the detail just got completely lost when I altered the colors and resized it. Sigh.

Anyway. Enough complaining. Time for the explanation, which is: none. That's right, this picture means absolutely nothing to me. I thought it would look neat, so I painted it. That's actually me there, not because I wanted to do a self-portrait, but instead because I knew I wouldn't get pissed off at myself if it didn't come out looking exactly like me. No, I definitely don't look glamorous right there, but I almost wanted to put myself in a pose where I didn't look like I was completely trying to sell my assests or something. Whatever unknown assets those may be.

Okay, onto the materials list, which we all know is the best part:
Figure done in watercolor
patterns on shirt/dress done in color Winsor and Newton ink
Greenish background done in watercolor
Yarrow in watercolor
Skeleton in gesso and watercolor
Red sun in acrylic and watercolor
Strings done in red and gold acrylic.

Verrrryy verrry little pencil sketching. Literally, I only drew 5 wispy lines for the yarrow and figure, each.

The more I look at this painting the more unhappy I am with it. Well, whatever. Just try harder and get better.
Oh, and it was something like... 12-13"x12-13"?

Uggghhhhh.
