Description This is the painting I did based on my sketch Shadows, which is based on a wonderful picture from *neeta.
This one is made on a piece of wood, with acrilics, and the wings have some textures that you can't really appreciate here.
Enjoy

that is one sad fairy. i like the picture...

what does the title say?

im thinking of failure when i see this... like the fairy failed at something.... i dunno. i havent seen too many sad fairies before.

hmm... i still like the painting.

sweetji In reply to nusong [2004-09-14 16:10:00 +0000 UTC]

thanks...well it was kinda how I felt for sometime...and well I feel related with fairies, and this picture was perfect for what I wanted to say.

The title means In the Shadows, although it doesn't have many shadows...jeje.

I don't know if it's failure, but just sadness...

nusong In reply to sweetji [2004-09-14 17:19:10 +0000 UTC]

cool.

ok... that sounds good... the color combo is dark ... so their could be shadows

sweetji In reply to nusong [2004-09-14 18:42:23 +0000 UTC]

I really like the color scheme you used, it seems so beautiful and light hearted, dream like. But her pose makes her seem as if she's devastated. Perhaps she has fallen, an angel trapped on earth? What I can see of the texture on the wings is interesting, did you just use thicker paint to get that effect? It's kinda hard to see with so much flash reflection. I really like how you did her skin tones, especially in the legs, working dark blues and purples in the shadows and coming up to pale pinks in the highlights. It's beautiful work

sweetji In reply to trickypink [2004-09-13 14:13:35 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. Yeah I was experimenting with the colors to create a very light feeling...very surreal in a way....she's a fairy, so it had to be between fantasy and reality. I did the textures with paper and a mix with glue, then the paint on top. Yeah the picture doesn't let that show very well.

Thanks so much for the great comment...

cocohints [2004-09-13 09:34:51 +0000 UTC]

Wow!! That's truly amazing!! I love that there's warm colours among the cold feeling this picture gives, it's so .. genius!!! A mixture of emotions!! Sad, mystic, mythical, heavenly, sorrow.. So many!! XD

Sorry, I suck at describing things..

sweetji In reply to cocohints [2004-09-13 14:15:45 +0000 UTC]

Thank you....your describing is just fine, mine's pathetic though, hehe. I was trying to make it very fantastic, but that you could feel her emotions as well...

Thanks for the comment...and thank you so much for the fav!!...

There is a sense of the textures and the colors are working great! The pose reminds me of the classic European Symbolist work. A great site for that is here:

I used to paint on Masonite and prefer wood surfaces.
Nice stuff!

Beautiful, i love how she's slightly blended into the background, like she's a little transparant. Well done. You are uber talented!
