shadowscapes and using purple as a skin tone.

i'm going to talk about another awesome artist i recently descoved. i was at this shop called sacred space gifts buying a couple of oracle packs (which the artwork was lovely) and the owners who i have talked to before and are very friendly mentioned a Stephanie Pui-Min Law which she was waiting to buy her tarot deck as its not for sale but she had recently bought a book of hers. she even kindly wrote her name down for me so i could look her up. i'm glad i did.

her watercolours are beautiful. I've even already learned of a new technique to try out (throwing rubbing alcohol onto the page) obviously i have been useing watercolour for some time now, since i was 13 i belive and love water colour works by john howe and alen lee. it was nice to finally find another artist who works with watercolour i like.

i love the purple she uses, i went on the site she linked and by the sounds of it i can buy my own pigment and make my own paint, which is an interesting thought. i don't know if i have the space to make my own paint yet though.

I'm concidering ordering her tarot major acanea book with the picture drawn inside (each pictures an origanal sketch. as it would be lovely to own. and i'm definatly buying her tarot set, even though i havent read tarot cards in a long time. the art work is very pretty. heres a preview of the books inside http://www.shadowscapes.com/details.php?lineid=21&bid=555

you can see more of her work here http://www.shadowscapes.com/ and her blog herehttp://shadowscapes-stephanielaw.blogspot.com/

on other note i have started colouring my winters lullaby picture. this is one huge eperiment for me as i'm using purple for the skin shadows. hopefully this once finished will give a night time feel to the picture. the photo has some what lost alot of the texture in her fur, hopefully when i scan it it will look better. though i might have to get a new scanner if i cant get the drivers working on the new pc.

and a sneaky peek at the videos i have been recording this one is of skin, and inst completed properly yet. it will need cleaning up that sought of thing, hence why its a sneaky peak.

so stay tuned for more videos on this piece though might take a week or so to finish recording and then theres the actual edit. but still i hope to get it up in the next couple of weeks :) gotta spring one forming in my head too, hopefully i can draw all the seasons or even do 12 related to each other and print my own calender to sell. we shall see.
