Starfire

In this artwork I wanted to create a female portrait with warm yellow tones used.. I think it is a step up from my previous watercolour efforts in terms of a portrait as it feels abit more like an artwork made with this medium and had lots of fun creating it. Now this girl is like a manifastation of the power of the sun in my mind.. It gives me a feeling of bright possitive strength and a warm feeling..

Yin or Yang

There is no elaborate plan/concept for this one.. just me playing a bit with the Yin Yang symbol. I plan to revisit it again as it is one of my favourite symbols but for now here are a few brush strokes for it in a very simple way..

Starborn

The concept of this artwork was to have the skin of a beautiful girl break and something to appear from inside.. After some brainstorming I decided in the end to instead have something dark or creepy appear inside to have something colourful.. So there is a kind of purple universe hiding inside of her and in contrast with what many other artists have done we see that this girl hides something beautiful inside her...

Usher

This artwork was again inspired from another short story written by Edgar Allan Poe named "The House of Usher". I really loved the atmosphere of the story and all the images I got in my mind regarding the old Manor where everything happens. I wanted for the Manor and the Blood Red Moon to be prominent and opted for a white background where the black trees would look nice in contrast. I believe that I at least got the bloody/creepy vibe in a nice way and while doing this with watercolours proved a bit of a challenge for meI must say I end up having lots of fun making this artwork..

Liz

After my "landscape" attempts this time I tried to create an artwork of a woman's portrait, without any real concept but just to try my hand.. I must say that I'm not very pleased with the final result but regardless it is done and it was an interesting first try..
