rain

Rain
My Illustration Friday attempt for "rain".

It has stopped for the past 3 days, but before that it had been raining here for weeks.

I can almost feel the heavy weight of the rain on her shoulders. I relly enjoy your style. Very well done.

Janet said...

I like it....you can tell she's really tired of the rain!

wow that's awesome. I love the framing and how it feels like heavy rain but also could be stalagtites (mites?) in a cave somewhere. Great feeling.

so unique and beautiful! I love this gray reflective technique you created! sorta of like she is walking in an underpass in the rain! Beautiful and I love it!

Wonderful illustration.
I can relate, this past winter we had 28 days of straight rain- one day short of an all time record.

Absolutely beautiful. I love the framing, and how the water "leaks" outside of the crop area. Lovely! =)

Raining here, too ~ and flooding. Yikes! Nice watercolor! I like the way you split it into two pieces. She looks like she's a bit tired of the wet, as the rest of us are!

this is awesome!!! I love how you used the water color & how you created the rain out of the blue and black spaces. You created a great mood.

She looks saturated, weighed down by all the rain! I love the two panels...they empahasize the repetitiveness of all the rain. You really do the most wonderful watercolors!

but yours is far nicer than mine !
Watercolor was a good choice, I think...
well done :)

depressing but beautiful.

By the way, did you scan your illo? If yes, what scanner are you using? How did you manage to get so much details and watercolour effect? I have a problem scanning my watercolour work, especially if the colours are light and more translucent. Any tips?
