Artist's Comments

This is my piece for ~liljeska's Theme Thursday project. Go check it out at her page.

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leafs a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
--Robert Frost

Watercolour pencils, A5 sketchbook paper, Girl ref: [link] by ~Sakura222-stock :heart:

Kinda proud of this, though the more I look at it the less I like it

Beautiful colors. Excellent job on the skin tones. I love how the hair leads into the more abstract pattern!

Her hair swaying makes everything look so gentle! Also, your so amazing with water colour pencils!

Thanks :) It looks a bit different to the original because the skin tones on paper are softer and more translucent feeling

You should be very proud of it! I suppose when you continue to admire work that you put a good deal of
emotion into, you unintentionally uncover things you'd like to have done differently. It's the perfectionist in you
, ;-) but the eyes you should remember to use are the one's that captured the essence and importance of your
endeavor....you find that kind of clarity at times like.....when you knew you had finally completed what you set out to do.

I think it's beautiful!
And yeah, I'm a weirdo.
