Artist's Comments

The title explains the image really, she is loosely based on the myth of Medea the sorceress/witch, wife of Jason (of Argonaut fame lol) ...when i say loosely based i mean inspired really. There is a twin piece in the pipeline which will be Circe the other famous witch from Greek Mythology, not that theres anything particularly mythological or classical about the way ive drawn her, i just had an inspired moment!

Painted in gouache and watercolour with white ink and white acrylic paint in places as highlights..

Hope you like!

Oh wow that's great! I love her hair, the way you've colored it, her eyes, and the design around them. And the steam stuff. Great job ^_^

aww thankyou so much, its taken me ages...well...a few days but thats ages for me! I spent a whole evening with one of my mates just debating what was wrong with her hand, in the end there must have been something very wrong because its now the crystal ball LOL as my art college tutor would say "if in doubt paint over it" :giggle:
thanks again!

wickedness (ignore me, i've been eating chocolate) hmmm. wanted to give a constructive critisism, but cant, so I'll tell you what I REALLY REALLY like!
*swirlies around her eyes
*Swirly steams like thing rising of the ball.
*swirlies around the ball
* swirlies in the background
* folds in the (very) low cut dress
I miss drawing. I wan't to draw now but I must get my friends work typed up for tomorrow (she can't type and she's paying me to do it. I've been at it all day, only 6 pages left!!)

it's £4 an hour, that will work out to about £35 when i'm done. I could charge more, but no doubt some one else who can type as fast as I can will turn up conveniently.
Its actually a really useful way of learning. lol
By the end, Of this I will be an expert on 1960s sculpture, Process Art, Antony Gormley and Marc Quinn. I typed up an essay on Hundertwassre a couple of weeks back so I now know his life story. its good to see other people way of writing - this essay is one of the most intelligent pieces i've read for a while ( something to aspire to) where as the hundertwasser piece was just good enough for a pass, and you could tell jsut from the writing style.
I should have set up a business. Screw illustration, i'm gonna become a typist.

It's pieces like this that make me want to paint more. It's so imaginative... And of course, I love the swirl motif.
