Description I finally finished it! I've been working on this painting for 3 hours every other Friday since around July 10, 2010. I've finally finished it!

This was all done with Caran d'ache crayon watercolors. And the shapes are outlined in pen. It measures 22 1/2" X 15"

A close up of the castle can be found here [link]


This idea was not created by me. I painted this with reference from an illustration in a book. All credit goes to the illustrator of the book The Enchanter's Daughter. The original picture can be found here. [link]

Look at the close up picture I took of the castle (there's a link in the description). Look at the very bottom and about 1/4 of the way in from the left.

Very impressive. I love the details you put on the castle, and the color scheme works. A job well-done!
