Your composition, colors, and technique are just perfect. I love your use of black and white (and a dark foreground with a light background) and the way it makes the painting look lit from the back like stained glass.
Would you mind if I asked about your unique wet-on-wet watercolor technique? Do you get this effect using salt? Salt never looks half so good for me when I try it.

Hello! (:
Thank you so much for the kind words!
I admit that painting is quite old then I don't remember exactly how I proceeded. Usually I get all the paper wet, then I put a first wash of colours and immediately add salt. Actually, the effet depends of many factors :
- the typ of paint (colours in tubes usually work better)
- the colours themselves (ochre works very well, some blues, black and Payne grey too)
- the brand (I use Winsor&Newton half-pans, but also some Artmate black and blue tubes - a very cheap brand but wonderful salt effect garanteed!)
- the paper (personnally I use mostly Canson watercolours or mixed media paper, 224 or 300g/m²)
I hope it helps!

superbe travail ! J'aime beaucoup le coté détaillé et texturé tout en restant un peu épuré.

Le détail des ailes du dragon est sublime. Vraiment. J'aime beaucoup aussi le côté lumineux, vaporeux de l'eau...et les détails en forme d'amonite sur les rochers. Encore une très belle illustration Sieskja ! Bravo.

J'aime bien les rochers, on dirait de gros escargots !
J'espère que tu t'es pas inspiré de ce que tu vois par le trou de la serrure de la salle de bain pour dessiner le nu rooooohhhhhh !

Ah bah non j'ai dû prendre d'autres références depuis que tu éteins la lumière!! (quoique ça pourrait m'inspirer quelque clair-obscur hihiiiiiiii)

Here come the ammonite rocks again! I can see some Puimun influence in the water, especially in the part closer to Argentë, but it keeps your touch to it (:
And the way you've painted Njëll makes me unsteady about drawing dragons again, look what have you done.

Des femmes nues et des fesses, c'est toujours agréable à faire
