Description
When I was in the midst of tackling the quest series with the remarkably talented Andy Dixon, I was asked to suggest a few other ideas as possible titles. This was one never used. Traditional watercolour.copyright Nick Harris 2003

Thanks again Lord.
Watercolour was described to me as pushing a puddle of paint round the paper. Once you introduce a slight tilt and use gravity to lay washes, that became a pretty good description of all that I did. I'd like to have been better at the freer watercolour style that allows bleeding into textured papers and such - but I could never allow myself to do that - too ocd, control freak. See - none of us is happy with our limitations.

That's impressive! Great job on this one.
Must have taken a while, how long did it take you?
Cheers.

Thanks Loathsome.
Can't recall exactly - I would guess about a week, I've never been speedy.

The cobwebs in the background look amazing! Even the copyright with the shadow looks awesome ^^ I also noticed how different your style was compared to your works now

Thanks Rusty - the copyright thing was added digitally of course. That space had to be kept for a title had it been used.
Watercolour is the one thing that digital still struggles somewhat to emulate. ArtRage is definitely getting closer. I still find it difficult to keep the sensitivity of the line work too. I will not let the pixel beat me though - grrr.
