Description This took quite some time to get it "right" I was close to give up on it, glad I didn't... after adding the light effects with airbrush. I knew that THIS was the "missing part"

Done with acrylics, pen, watercolors and airbrush on paper.

Thank you very much
This one was quite a challenge... I always felt something missig and was close to give up, til I added the sunbeams. Then I knew that this was missing

Das ist absolut grandios! Farbigkeit, Komposition und Handwerk. Und neben diesen coolen Facts hat es etwas ganz Besonderes: eine unbeschreibliche Stimmung. Mir fehlen die Worte...

Danke !!!
Ich freue mich wirklich RIESIG, dass es Dir gut gefaellt. Ich war so nahe dran aufzugeben und es nicht fertigzumachen, weil immer "irgendwas fehlte". Erst war das Laub nicht hell genug und dann sah es nicht plastisch genug aus. Zum Schluss war ich mutig und sprayte noch die Lichteffekte auf und da "passte" dann alles

Ich war so kurz davor, aufzugeben, da das Bild erst nicht so wollte, wie ich... Das Laub wirkte matt und es fehlte etwas. Das spruehen der Lichtreflexe war eine reine Verzweiflungstat und ich war so ueberrascht, dass es genau DAS war, was noch fehlte

Und ich war so kurz davor, aufzugeben, weil es am Anfang gar nicht so aussah, wie ich es mir vorgestellt hatte. Dann habe ich gedacht, wenn es mit den Strahlen nicht wirkt, dann gebe ich auf, aber zum Glueck sah es dann echt gut aus

Ich haette es schon fast an die Wand gehauen, weil das Bild nicht so wollte, wie ich, aber die Strahlen haben dann alles "gut" gemacht ^^
