This is my entry for the Aqua Collab Challenge over at watercolorists in collaboration with the lovely Kirschpraline . The them was "Opposites Attract" and we both had to paint something with opposing themes. We chose Sun/Rain, and you can guess which I chose You can see her entry here:  fav.me/ddx36k1


You can see some WIPs on my twitter: twitter.com/noxmoonyisadork/st… twitter.com/noxmoonyisadork/st… twitter.com/noxmoonyisadork/st… twitter.com/noxmoonyisadork/st…


I actually went with sun even though I love rain and I've done countless rainy artworks over the years I thought I should try something I don't get around to doing very often so yeah...had a bit of trouble coming up with a concept for this But then after a lot of sketching came up with this little idea and I liked it enough to go for it. Since storybook illustrations is something I personally really love, and themes with little fairyfolk/elves/forest folk are also something I like...I'm glad I actually painted something along those lines  Would love to explore these themes more in my works  


Really enjoyed working on this, and it's not often I make a finished watercolour painting so this was a good learning experience  


Tools:

Clairefontaine Goldline Paper 200gsm cold press

Winsor Newton Professional Watercolours

Owww, it's so beautiful, I love how bright and colorful everything is, it fits perfectly for a sunny day!
You did such a great job with the theme and you can be so proud of yourself, to try out something new and leaving your comfort zone!
I also love the cute deatils, the little elve and of course the sweet illustrative style, such a beautiful painting and I'm so glad,
that we partnered up for this challenge :*)

Thank you very much! Really glad you think so Robyn I wanted to make it bright and sunny, so I'm glad it comes through.

Aww thank you dear, I'm happy I tried something I never tried before and that I also enjoyed the process too. I do want to get out of my comfort zone more often so this was a great way to do so. Thank you once again, I'm very happy to read your comment
