Some stuff from my mid-term portfolio, 10-20 minutes. Hope you like!

The Nightingale

This was an assignement for my elective class "Illustrations of the Romantic Period". The first image is based on John Clare's The Nightingale's Nest and the second on Samuel Coleridge's The Nightingale. I really love using watercolors, it had been a while since I'd done it. If anyone's wondering, btw, watercolor is ALL ABOUT what paper you use. I used a cheap paper to do some tests for this and that totally sucked, but those here were done on Arches Coldpressed paper, which was total bliss. Later!
