| Why do I let myself dream like this |
Added 2022-07-03 17:14:06 +0000 UTCAny time I do foliage, I’m like, next time let’s make it even MORE of an endevour!!!! And this sure was something. I feel like I’m learning to do so many things though, and im sure I’ll be implementing this kind of greenery in future paintings, same with what I did for the Ric & Hor paintings with all that grass!!
Figuring out all this leafy stuff was tough at first, the sketch I did was super minimal, basically only the outer outline of the bush itself. All the innards I came up with on the go and it sorta just worked! I implemented a technique I’d used before with bushes where I’d have a green space, outline the first layer of branches, then fill up all the negative space- and then repeat. You can sorta see that in this one as well, it’s pretty straight forward after about the thousandth leaf! 😵💫
So here is a lil 1930’s au Jones, having a ponder about his life while on a trip with Horatio. Hor takes him to France, spending, eating and living lavishly, a honeymoon of sorts. Still, Jones isn’t really,, happy. He’s content, sure, he’s not going hungry or sleeping in dodgy places, but theres still something keeping him from being actually happy with life.
Horatio can be overbearing, fed up with Jones’ immaturity at times. He doesn’t weigh in that that might be a factor in dating a man quite a bit younger than him. No real life experience yet. Still he loves him, they both love each other, that’s all that matters, no matter the murderous end awaiting this relationship.
I hope you like it, I had a great time with this piece!! Next painting will be nsfw, I have some sketches ready and waiting which I hope you’ll like!
Please enjoy!! 💓

2022-07-05 14:17:09 +0000 UTCWe can feel all the enjoyment you had while painting this piece! And this bring us so much peace as we are admiring it, this is priceless! Dreamy Jones is a so poetic figure, and this doesn’t refrain me at all in my affection for him 🥰… and once again: your greens and floral scenery are so nice and well managed!
2022-07-03 20:27:30 +0000 UTCThe amount of Detail in the foliage is absolutey divine!! So in love with this piece!
2022-07-03 18:47:38 +0000 UTCI am positively obsessed with this, it's beautiful! Thanks for talking about the process around it, I've been getting back into watercolor and some things sound like they should be easy to do but then it's so easy to overwork something.
