When the sun hits

Hey, how's it going? Hope it's going well!

Care for a cup? Here it is.
This one piece I made this week, and to be honest, I have mixed feelings for it.


Lilliputian Symbrome #2
- Watercolours and gouache on hotpress wc paper.


I used this composition as a last minute fail-safe for this project (thanks again to Jana and Ideafixa). I had a deadline and the original piece I wanted to complete ended up being more than I could actually handle with the amount of time I had. Which I only realised half way through. Stupid, stupid mistake.

Lesson learned.

Though it's not that I dislike it, I'm actually pleased with the results for this attempt. Although I risked exploring some uncharted territory , I also know I used some comfort zones to help accelerate the process. Something I really don't like to do. But in the end, I hope it's still enjoyable for what it is. 


Sometimes we need the opportunity to try last minute plans...well, I usually do anyway.  But it shouldn't be like this every time. Needless to say, I still learning, which is great.

...

On a side note. This past month has been really great, with some good news and changes. We'll see how it goes. But I must thank all the support from whoever comes to drop off a comment or even just visit. Or even larger scale support which always overwhelms me. Really.


Thanks again.

My good friend Ashley Mackenzie blew my mind. Really.
And I can't wait to see what more things Ericka could possibly come up with.

and that's that for now.
Até mais ver

PS: I've been wanting to get my hands on some Zoe Keating tracks...if anyone....? *hint hint* email.

Great post Jean! You did an amazing job with the painting on this one. Love the grass and the details on those tower blocks, and the overall composition of the image seems to work nicely as well.

p.s I almost skipped over the links entirely, perhaps you should make them stand out a bit more?

And thanks! Can't wait either, haha

Perfeito! Adoro seus sketches...mas quando vc resolve mostrar os "finalizados"...Meus Deus!


Fico contente em ter amigos como vc e o Iuma.

Jean, this is really cool. I don't think I've seen anything quite like it. I'm glad you tried something new, and yeah, it can come up with mixed results, but still, fortune favors the bold!

And deadlines are scary, so staying in your comfort zone is pretty understandable with commercial work.

Looking forward to more from you!
