Soo, about that watercolor. I've decided I am going to make the leaves on the tree green. I PROMISE THIS WASN'T JUST A SPUR OF THE MOMENT DECISION.. I've had to redo the darn things three times now. The first reason for my decision is because every time I color them any form of yellow it looks like the tree is on fire. Secondly, if I try to dull the fall leaf colors it looks like vomit (literally, my dog is pregnant and hers looks the exact same.. ok tmi) Lastly, and this is going to sound uber weird, around one last night I woke up, looked down at the picture and thought of what it would look like with green leaves and what was there looked wonderful. So after many different colors the leaves are decidedly being green.
On another note, I've got the canvas for my next project. Well, for a commission I'm doing for a friend. *Sigh* The canvas is 24"x36" which I know is RIDICULOUS! But that's the size he wants it and it'll be good practice fore me. Anywho he wants it to look like a painting he saw at Newport so I have to do an acrylic landscape using all different hues of red. He's agreed to let me add things and take things out as I please because I don't want to copy the other artists work. So yeah.. that will probably take me the rest of the summer.
Don't worry though, there will still be many comics and watercolors coming for when I get ADD during the monster project. ^^

CONGRATULATIONS!
It's always great to get a commission! It's such a personal affirmation of what you do.
Then there's the actual work. :}
Yep, that's a good size, but when compared to the size of the mural, not so much. Thumbnails can be very helpful, remember? Then you can graph it out if necessary to keep proportions in balance.
Don't worry, I have every confidence it will turn out well.
And yea! Don't forget you "owe me" work too! LOL Have fun.
Actually I was wondering if this could count as one of my summer art pieces if I brought it into school.
I'm sure Patrick would be willing to give it up for a little bit. I don't know if I mentioned this, but Patrick is the boy who was in my first comic lol. ^^
