Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Are you sure it's not Christmas yet??? Because today I've already received an amazing letter from an amazing friend far away, complete with a wonderful greeting picture, and now a simply brilliant drawing!
Hahahahahahahahahaha, I love your take on it Vin. It's funny too, because whenever I'm reading one of his tales, that's actually sort of the image that I have in my head.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, well Christmas is all in the feeling of the moment more than the actual day itself.
I thought you would enjoy this take on them. I actually have picked up a bit of them as such in my reading of the books as well.

Well this really doesn't have much if anything to do with werewolves or wolves for that matter, however I would still care to share it here. This is a watercolor painting that I have been working on over the holiday. The last time I touched my paint set was almost four years ago. Anyway though I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks. I was trying to stick the impressionist theme.

WOW Vin! I have no idea what you were talking about when you said you didn't like the way it was coming out! Wow, this is actually quite amazing!
I love the 'feel' it has... I'm trying to think of what it reminds me of... I don't know... You know, it's actually quite unique. I would say impressionist, but it also has a touch of something else that I can't define right now. It's almost sort of like a modern take on impressionism. I think the noticeable thing is that it really captures the light.

Hey Thanks!!! You know, I think my problem is the colors, I always expect them to turn out one why when I begin and they always turn out another when I'm completed. I think it has to do with water colors not being very dark and I usually expect darker ones, you know? I am quite happy with the completed project. I had a very difficult with the larger bush. There was something about it that did not fit right, however once the rest was in place and the sky and surroundings done I feel it fits much better.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha, a new style, eh?

Ah yes, I know what you mean. The biggest trouble I've had with oils in the past is the mixing of colors when you're painting two different colored things next to each other. However, recently I've learned not to fight it, but instead to foresee it and to use it in the painting to actually mix colors on the canvas rather than on the palette. I don't personally fancy large brushes either... All that said, your painting looks simply brilliant! I definitely would say that it could be classified as a new style, and I definitely mean that with the best of intentions. Like I said, it does an excellent job of capturing the light and reflecting it back at the viewer.

You know I should have known, however, I didn't know that there were different sizes of brushes. I have only ever used the one that came in my Crayola paint set. I had trouble mixing the greens and the browns. I know there is more brown in that bush than I can see anymore. As soon as I put the green on most if disappeared. Thanks again for the compliments, that really warms my day.

Hahahahahahaha, really??? I've got at least 15 different brushes, all with different sizes and shapes (some are circular while others have more of a rectangle-shaped cut). Hahahahahaha, the disappearing brown! Ah, well you certainly deserve them all, it certainly is a great piece of art. I was actually pleasantly surprised with how well done, especially after all your downplay.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Yeah......... I really should have known thought, I really should have. So while working on your paintings do you have a favorite brush that you use for the majority of the time?
Offline
Hahahaha, not really... I just pick which ones I think will best work with the size and shape of whatever I'm painting. I also use different brushes for each color (you really can't use the same because oils are so thick). Mostly though, I do like to work with smaller brushes because it's easier to add detail.
Offline
Ah so each brush to its practical use then. (That is very interesting. I would not have thought that the paints would be so thick as that.) I guess that would make sense for the smaller brushes to be more fine and controlled as well. Hahahahahahahahahahaha, well anyway thanks for answering the random questions on brushes.
