Description Now this is my probably the best watercolour I've ever done, back in 2016! Maybe even my best drawing ever. I just love it so much :3 I'm very proud oh how light and shadows came up, I'm proud of the pose (got many references for that one by the way), it was my first time doing this freckle thing with scales too! And since then I put it everywhere as you know
It was also my first time loving the hair ♥

That one was a huge confidence boost and inspiration driver through the years ♥ I must say that's also why I kept it to myself so long! I just wanted to reflect on it and understand it before sharing~ I hope you can forgive me

I used tubed watercolour on grain water, by the way! I was very doubtful about tubed watercolour but I was then UTTERLY convinced!

Thanks for the support ♥

Afin d'éviter un maximum d'écho des précédents commentaire, j'irai à l'essentiel qui est mon admiration pour réussir à mettre ta sirène autant en valeur sans lines, surtout au niveau de la chevelure.

Ca honnêtement je ne me l'explique pas moi-même c'est ce qui est magique des fois, tu laisses faire le pinceau et tout se fait naturellement !
Merci beaucoup en tout cas Mais je dirais : ne jamais avoir peur de définir très sommairement des formes, car le cerveau fait en sorte de toujours trouver des connexions logiques

Je crois que c'est la première fois que je vois une sirène de dos, qui cache sont visage au lieu de le montrez.
Dans les autres oeuvres, elles n'hésitent pas à montrez leur beauté, leur l'assurance et leur joie de vivre.
Celle-ci est plus timide et repliez sur elle-même, comme si elle avait honte de quelque chose.

C'est rare de voir une sirène avec une pose aussi discret,
montrant de la peur, de la tristesse avec des tons (couleurs) froides et neutres pour accentuer ce mal-être.

Je me demande ce qu'elle a vécue pour être ainsi.

Ohhh, très cher ! Merci beaucoup pour ce message ;///;
Je t'avouerai qu'avant que tu ne le souligne, je n'avais pas vraiment remarqué cette tristesse et tout ça... Ca peut paraître bête mais je l'ai peinte pendant une période où je destinais quelque peu industriellement pour évacuer beaucoup de sentiments et du coup je faisais ce qui me passait par la tête sans vraiment y réfléchir !
Ce que tu y vois correspond tellement à cette partie de ma vie que c'est presque effrayant xD
Bref, merci beaucoup d'avoir partagé ça ♥
PS: La sirène va bien mieux, ne t'en fais pas

Oh!
Hé bien, je souhaite que son bonheur continue à grandir et qu'il ne faibli pas.
Si cela arrive, je tendrais mes coussinets pour un câlin doux. ^^

C'est très courageux de votre part de montrez un dessin lié à vos sentiments du passé.
Vous avez très bien capturer l'émotion à travers le personnage.
On a envie d'aller la voir et la réconforté (si on oublie les légendes sur ses femmes mythiques ) 
Le choix de la pose et des couleurs sont bien exploité. Chapeau! owo

Mooooow c'est très gentil tout cela ♥

Disons que si je ne publiais pas ce qu'y a un rapport avec mes émotions je ne mettrais pas grand chose sur la toile B)
Au début je me rendais pas forcément compte à quel point mes sentiments se voyaient aussi, donc j'ai pris l'habitude de tout envoyer
Les sirènes c'est mignon et ça aime les calins voyons :3 Pour l'éternitéééé !

Vous êtes adorable, my dear!

Hmm, c'est vrai, les oeuvres sont les messagers émotionnels de leur créateurs et de leur créativités. Sans émotion et sans inspiration, la feuille reste vierge.

Bonne remarque  

Oh, accepte avec joie de partager cette amour pour les câlins (amicaux) avec elles.  
Pas autant que vous, ma chère!

Love this and featured it here:  A Sprinkle of Feature LoveHello Everyone!
I am so excited to be back and active on DA after my long hiatus and I decided to share the excitement with others! I used to love hosting contests, featuring artists, and sharing favorites. In an effort to get back in the swing of things here on DA and make new (active) friends, I decided to look through some new deviations and feature them on my page for friends new and old! I want to make this a weekly feature and branch out to let others nominate deviations. Look towards the bottom of the journal to see submission rules!
Please take the opportunity to check out my poll regarding features located HERE!
Check out these new or undiscovered deviations that I fell in love with while browsing and don't forget to show them some love!

Would you care to tell me more about the feelings you get through it? It's always so very interesting!

Fellifonne In reply to Louna-Ashasou [2018-08-27 12:33:56 +0000 UTC]

i think it is very straight, there is no facade restraining her current state of feelings

for me it seems like she's very alone and has been hurt really bad and her gone runny fins only intensifyly shows her "wound"

i don't might be the detailst painting but is has some important details to it which let me feel bad for her

Louna-Ashasou In reply to Fellifonne [2018-08-27 17:53:45 +0000 UTC]

Well this is really interesting!! Thank you very much for that
Speaking with people about it actually made me see how sad the painting looked (I know, right? xD)
I'm glad the lack of detail don't bother you, I'm all for simplistic styles ♥
Thanks again :3

You're my muse ♥
