Description
Medium: WatercolourSize: A4
I was edging to something really colourful for a while, so...here's a bit of that
This isn't the best photo and doesn't quite capture the detail clearly... my camera is hanging on to dear life after being dropped and aquatically submerged a few too many times. I'll let you know if I get a better reproduction!
The sky was fun to do, but wow did it take forever. To be completely honest, I don't really know what's going on in this picture, lol. It was a fairly impulsive undertaking. But to the best of my knowledge it's a presumably sentient, benign, drippy, melting, jellybean-esque creature/tree. And Spanish. SeΓ±or Meltoro. A part of me wanted him to be Guillermo MelToro, but I restrained myself.
Hope you like!

do you mind me asking what company of watercolors you use?

Sure, it's Reeves. Sometimes Cotman for some colours, but mostly Reeves

Great use of abstract and figurative forms in this pop surrealist painting! Aside from the obviously well executed use of color theory, you've managed to make an otherwise symmetrical portrait, very compelling and communicative. And though you say "I don't know what's going on in this picture..." I gotta say, it speaks for itself pretty clearly. Sometimes reflecting and figuring out what your piece is about, post-rendering can be the best part in the creation process. If you like pop surrealism, maybe check out my small, but promising little blog. Any feedback or sharing by you would be much appreciated to say the least. [link]
Graci

Thankyou so much for your wonderful comment! My permanent struggle - to make by boring obsession with front-on symmetry vaguely interesting. Haha. Great work with the blog by the way. I don't really frequent blog much generally, but I like how diverse yours is in terms of interests and the visual combined with music

It is a fancy one, and one that should be more abundant in our present.

Thankyou! In person, the ground is much more clear and defined (this is actually a photograph while my scanner was out of action, and I couldn't get it all in focus coz I suck haha)

I normally don't like psychedelic-leaning stuff, but this is really well done! The colorful creature bursting out of a dark landscape was a nice touch, and the landscape itself is just amazing; it looks a starry sky at night. The sky was beautifully done; I love your blending technique.
Lovely work; Guillermo MelToro looks like a guy I could hang with.

Haha, yeah I'd love to have a beverage or two with ol' MelToro. Maybe an ice cream even. Thanks for your comments fellow onionite: [link]

Wow. Your work is fascinating and beautiful. This is extremely powerful and fun, while the ground is desolate and dark. Love it.

It's different and unique, and while I don't dislike anything about it, it doesn't call to me....and I can't figure out why...I think it's the sky...but that's my issue :3

Haha, fair enough! Perhaps it is the relative flatness? Do you like Modernist stuff? Or maybe it's just the colours.

I think it's the lines in that create the sky....

funny idea and very unique!
I especially like the contrast between the colorful tree and the dark ground ^-^

He's such a weird creature/tree. Hahaha. So colourful and somewhat cute. AND he's Spanish? What a character
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha, I love that the Spanish factor was apparently the icing in the cake for you
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, I guess(x HAHA. I mean he's already a weird character with a cute name PLUS you made him Spanish
