I colored it! Please forgive me, but i am not kidding when i say i haven't watercolored in YEARS! I figured if i put my mediocre watercolor skills and my mediocre digital skills together, that i might come up with something sort of good. Like...mediocrity times 2! Wait...maybe i DON'T want that. Painting is not my forte.

This is from a French Christmas carol, Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella. Here are the lyrics. [link] :D

Line drawing here, [link] in case the lousy paint-job is hurting your eyes. ;)

what are you talking about, doo-doo for brains? The watercolor turned out fine...'specially the torch light! But the sky could be a little darker.

The way you drew the face of the one in the blue looks like Princess Jasmine. LOL. your work with light effect in this is simply stunning.

I think the manner you did this came out great. :-) The less intense tones for foreground and background allow the bold light and colors of the focus shine through, your textures of fabric and stone describe the surfaces nicely. :D

Though I must ask you. I first saw this and wondered - Why you used an unsaturated blue in the background for your cool, unlit tones, and the unsaturated earth tone in the foreground? I first think you need a more harmonious palette to draw attention to your focus, but then another part of me sees how it separates the foreground and lets it sit in a color grouping wonderfully with the warmer focus. It also lets the background fade into space better. Just curious. :-)

Don't mind me, I overthink these things sometimes. ^^;

But i agree with you. Then the buildings wouldn't stand out too much, 'cause they're not very important. Thanks yous. :D

I thought you did a great job, especially the fire light.
Thank you so much. The fire light was the thing i was most worried about when i painted it, and it turns out to be the best part of the picture. Go figure! :D
