I WANT SNOW o.O
Watercolour + white ink. Work in progress of this piece is in my scrap gallery! :) Snow, and water, are amongst the most difficult things to draw/paint - snow does also reflect it's surroundings, both in colour and shape. Snow is white, but as white consists of all colours, it's only seemingly easy to depict...

Daily Deviation

Given 2009-03-24

There's a quiet and haunting allure to Winterday by ~Elolinon, where the qualities of watercolour are put to masterful use in revealing layer upon layer of fantastic forms, as though passing through dissolving mist, to enter a realm indiscernible as real or illusionary. (Suggested by ~DarthHoney and Featured by ^snowmask)

Hahah, no, you're not alone. We haven't had snow here for many years now, I guess the generation that grows up now won't associate christmas with snow at all :( Merry christmas anyway! :D

I really like the textures here - so watercolour first, and then detail work in white ink. Fantastic, really lovely, and all sorts of adjectives. It makes me think of white frost spiralling upwards on the grooves and ridges of the tree.

I like how they could be just blobs, but you gave them definition with the ink.

Wow! Congratulations on your daily deviation! :D You really deserve it! :D

nice. i like the seeming chaos on the outside and the stability and texture of the tree trunk in the center.

It's beautiful painted, I especialy like the tree :) congrats on the DD, this deviation should get more attention.

Here in Switzerland we have snow now in March. It would be time for spring. :(
