21. DMarla wrote: I have to darken to bring details out and mute things that are further back, and such things. You just put bold shapes together so I'm trying to see how you bring it all together.
22. marg wrote: .. now, is it kind to be putting this quality of picture up, when others are feeling low because they've just lost something that could never have equalled this brilliance ? ... [it's really, really good Qsilv, and I don't miss mine as much now, because I

24. DMarla wrote: I'm not sure how you do this or if you do this at all. For example, the purple V shaped items to the bottom left, I don't see those as essential to the picture so are they their to balance or are they just there. I figure once I figure out if every piec

26. DMarla wrote: Sorry Marg, I had a lot to say so broke it up so I could fit it in the boxes. I didn't mean to post at the same time either.
27. DMarla wrote: # 25, that should of read, ... every pieced placed has a reason. I know you have shadows in the face; that may be the balancer to pull the picture together. I'm lost how you do this but I sure want to figure it out!

29. DMarla wrote: I think it is her best one to date that she's done.
30. Qsilv wrote: well I'm getting more comfortable with the palette, and of course I watch other people's work like a hawk to figure out potential effects that could work for me. There are a lot of what watercolorists call "accidentals".
31. Qsilv wrote: DM, I've seen your rl (real life vs TD) painting... you can definitely do as well as I, once you get comfie with it. You "see". And you;re good at keeping a balance 'tween the whole and the details.
32. Qsilv wrote: DM's right too about using some things just as a balancer... it's a bit intuitive, but actually that just means a LOT of looking. I kept screen-captures of this; I'll post them up on Flickr - just search for Qsilv.
33. DMarla wrote: Ok, I will look later. I'm so happy you knew what I was talking about because when it comes to what I wanted to ask it wasn't easy explaining what I was trying to get at.
34. DMarla wrote: I only have 2 finished painting so I'm new at this and self taught so it takes a lot of looking to figure out why a painting is not working.
35. DMarla wrote: Thanks for telling me you think I can do it. To draw like you I would have to step out of my comfort zone because I started with painting just what I see and I am too new to know how to step out of that at this time.
36. Qsilv wrote: ...smiles.. but you always only ever paint what you see. It's just that sometimes you're only seeing it in your memory, y'know?

38. kmkagle wrote: This is a beautiful drawing! Really like it, it will make a beautiful birthday present to faithfool!
39. DMarla wrote: I am not a memory drawer/painter, that's where my weakness falls. Puzzler are you talking to me. If so thanks but I'm not there yet to do something like this.
40. DMarla wrote: KM, you are so right that this is a great gift to Faithfool. She can print it out too if she wants!!!

42. hxxhxx wrote: makes me realize that real artists (like you) just SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY than the rest of us ... and that's a good thing
43. kmkagle wrote: I think she should frame it somehow. Some of the pictures on this site should be framed, they are so beautiful in all categories.
44. pollyesther wrote: hxxhxx said it so well... hey is Qsilv short for quicksilver?
45. aeae wrote: That picure is well-g-r-e-a-t!
46. kmkagle wrote: What I meant about framing this, maybe it can be blown somewhat, then matted and framed. It would look beautiful. Or a grouping of all of the AC pictures would be neat!
47. solosater wrote: Qsilv, wanted to pass on a message, one of the people from Nights with Alice Cooper's Forum said yours was their favorite of the challenge. I thought you'd like that info. It really is a great drawing.
48. Qsilv wrote: ...wow - I'm honored! Thank you so much for passing it on to me.
