I did this a while ago. I was experimenting with the texture tools to try and mimic watercolour with a textured paper effect. It likely doesn't belong on the advanced board, but I hope it gives some of you some ideas.

It's beautiful! And it does look like watercolor.

hmmm..I missed this! wow, you really did do a great job recreating watercolor. It's lovely, like a cove of a larger lake. Quite familiar looking! :)

Thank you, all. I've never really tried using watercolour to paint with and to be honest, it never really appealed to me. Lately, however, Ive gained an interest in it and have been studying various techniques on the web. I hope to give it a try in the near future. I made this scene up but there are many places like this in the area where I live. I suppose it's time I start taking advantage of it. It'd be a good excuse to just sit by a lake, anyway.

Have you been taking advantage of it yet? :)

This is good. It's more skilfully drawn than all your other pics I've seen, whcih are cool, but kind of easy to do and mainly just lines and patterns. The heart is great, as is the 'S' and the swan. I liek how the swan looks painted :)

lynx3jumper (edited Dec 13, 2010)

I think it looks that way cuz I used the burn tool a lot, and I did a lot of fussing on it... Swans are one of my favorite birds so it had to be perfect ofcourse. haha, lots have changed since i drew this...now i really am obsessed with peacocks!!!! lolz

This is really beautiful, just as it is. I can only imagine it finished ...how amazing this will be. Love her expression, the canvas size and the curves in it.

Sorry, didn't mean to bump this to the top, just wanted to complete it. I kept thinking about that poem "Ozymandius" while I was playing with the watercolour brush...trying to make it look like her body was made of sand, blowing away in the wind.

I met a traveler from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
“My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
by Percy Bysshe Shelley

I've got a book of poems from when I was a kid and this is one of the poems.
