In a desperate attempt to drive traffic I have sunk to the level of painting Disney princesses in hopes of snatching a few unassuming Google searchers.Actually it is a Avalanche blog topic which was prompted by these to nice princess paintings done by Sam Neilson(since childhood Disney princess coloring book pages seem to be a specialty of Sam's) and Ryan Wood.
Kind of enjoyable to not have to worry about the drawing, just go to town with colors. The color scheme was taken from one of my favorite paintings evah, Jean-Francois Millet's Louise-Antoinette Feuardent(I think the colors on the link are not that good) which you can see at the fantastic J. Paul Getty museum in LA.
wow! beautiful!

ReplyDeletebeautiful! very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI like that Millet painting a lot too. I remember when I first saw it at the Getty I was surprised how clunky the brush strokes on the lace collar are. It's like he didn't care at all about that part of the painting. Or didn't finish or something. But the rest is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteNice job on your princess.
fascinating. Great work...
ReplyDeleteI like very much this cartoon, great work my friend! :)
ReplyDeleteDavid, to drive traffic, don't name your pictures with generic titles. Before you upload them, title them what they ARE - "princess bell original illustration" is better than a series of numbers and "bell". When people use Google Image search, the TITLE of the photo is a HUGE help to getting your images listed in the search earlier.
ReplyDeleteIf you look up "pastel figure drawing" in a google search, you'll see several of my drawings early on - because I title them BEFORE adding them to my blog.
