Description This was the final painting of my last notebook. He's kind of a mischievous looking boy, isn't he? Maybe he planted a stink bomb somewhere in that crowd XD Anyway, plaid is really difficult to do, I have learned. It could have been neater, but.... ;^^

Watercolor painting!

Again, another fantastically charming piece! I love his facial expression, it really brightens up the monotonous scenery of the school children. I love how sharp and clear his eyes are as well, it makes him stand out even more against the blurred background. So creative!!

pluggedinbaby [2005-03-24 23:15:31 +0000 UTC]

Oh, but the plaid looks amazing! Time well spent and worth it me thinks.

I love his face. It has some realistic element to it. Fascinating nose - it actually looks very kiddish and the mischeivious sort. His eyes are so pretty too!

Is it inappropriate for me to declare my love for you now? XD Anyway... brilliant look and colours, and also texture of the hair.

kewl!!
you know, the more I look at it, the more I feel like he's lonely and sad more than mischievous!! it's just my impression tho!

jkearney In reply to mazoku-chan [2005-02-20 03:50:11 +0000 UTC]

Maybe it\'s the loneliness and sadness that makes him so mischievous... just wanting a little bit of attention How sad!

what the--that doesn't look like watercolor! TT or maybe I own crappy watercolors. That's so cool! i love his eyes.

jkearney In reply to Shadoling [2005-02-19 05:22:05 +0000 UTC]

XD Sometimes having crappy watercolors limits what you can do in a painting. Mine are a decent quality (although I have some cheap Crayola paints that I rarely use!!). But yeah, a brand I recommend is Reeves. They're a pretty good quality for the price (I can get a pack of 18 tubes for under $10)

For a mischievous little boy, he sure has that poker face nailed down. Heh, heh I wouldn't want to get on his bad side.

Yet again, you suprise me with your ablility to watercolor. I've never seen plaid done before and you really pulled it off quite nicely. It is interesting how you did the crowd. Squished together to make it crammed full of students yet blured enough to make him stand out from them all. Nice choice of colors too, the blues and greys really accentuate the cool, cloudy school day.

I can see how plaid might have been such a hard time to paint since there is so many transparancy effects and geometric shapes to deal with.

jkearney In reply to RioLin [2005-02-18 19:58:54 +0000 UTC]

Yes, and this particular plaid was very simple. Imagine doing the plaids with all the reds, blues, and greens XD Thank you so much for the comment, I appreciate it.
