Jessica Truscott/Cardinal 4 in the style of Alphonse Mucha
Watercolor
9x22"
May 2012

An experiment for =faestock 's biweekly challenge, I decided to break out the watercolors and see what I could do in a sort of Mucha-inspired art noveau style. I think it came out okay--the composition turned out nice, the execution was okay (I haven't used watercolors in about 15 years), but I still feel that the background could use ....something. This is a learning piece, so any constructive criticism or input is welcome :)

This is stunning! I've always found the Art Nouveau style very moving, you get points just for using that, but your skill and artistic eye is gorgeous on it's own. You exceptionally duplicated the pose and made it your own, the setting is beautiful, light and free. The red is so rich and vibrant, beautifully delicate shading and colors. I love the background used as a frame in the piece, very stylish.
Gorgeous watercolor.
