Description
Oh jeez did I not have time to do this. :/ But I just... yeah. I just can't stop crying. Going on a week now. Maybe two. So Tigerlily stepped in for a few hours. (four? this was fast)If you'll recall, she's afraid of water.
aaaand I cannot paint waves. Or folds. Or hands. Is there anything I actually can paint? I splattered paint all over my laptop screen doing the sea spray.

You do such lovely backgrounds! And I think the pose is fine, though the stillness of her hair/dress contrasts somewhat with the background, at least for me, though I realize there may not be the wind I am imagining. Overall, excellent work as usual!

You could pretend it's a metaphor? No? Well, her hair's moving a little bit, but you're right, her dress gives no indication toward the movement. Ah well.

Please, meaning stop selling yourself short and take a step back from this painting to admire it instead of picking at the details. :] It's one of the hardest things to do as an artist, but it's worth it if you learn how.

Well... to be fair, I think this is one time that the scan turned out better than the original, so I can see the original in all its awkward, crooked glory. But it could have been worse. (:

hoooooly crap! this is super great D: Like i'm super jealous of these SKILLS YOU HAVE
Like dang look at those folds and that water-- both of which I can't even begin to paint without it eventually turning into a mass of weird paint scribbles
You're talented ;V;

Take a deap breath.
Let it out slowly.
Please 'google image' "Winslow Homer Seascapes".
Now look how close and beautiful you have come towards his feel and style.
Allow the smile to spread across your face.
Don't forget to breath.
There is no need to rush when you are on your own time. Observe, paint, assess, and repeat.
Cheers!

I love the stormy ocean, I love the grey and gloomy atmosphere, I like how vulnerable and yet elegant Tigerlily looks. I just love it, simple as that
