New paintings
Friday, April 3, 2009, 12:58 AM CST [General]
These paintings have been finished for a while, and now I'm finally getting to posting them. I'm really proud of the dragon. The acrylic over watercolor really worked well for it. I don't think I would have been able to do the same with watercolor. Yay for progress!

New how to paint book - Watercolor Made Easy: Fairies & Fantasy
Thursday, February 5, 2009, 12:43 PM CST [General]
Finally I am ready to take pre-orders of the book I spent half of 2008 illustrating. It features walkthroughs for 12 paintings as well as pages on techniques and ideas for painting fairies and backgrounds. I'm taking pre-orders for signed copies on my website. I will also include a mini of the cover art. The release date is March 1, but I may be able to get them from the publisher earlier.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. But in that time I did manage to get a lot of art done. I think I'm changing the way I use color a bit, at least in the paintings I do for myself. I'm having a lot more fun with color glazing. Masquerade

Wow! I love the detail and colors in your artwork! Beautiful! I really want to purchase your book after seeing your pieces! Stephanie |

I was thrilled to get your book today. I love your teaching style, coming at me from so many graphical perspectives (which I do my best learning from). |

When the dragonsite first started in 2001 the plan was to cut out retailers and just sell the dragons exclusively via the website (hence the name :) ) the plan was very short lived though thankfully! but the name stayed, i actually like the name and think it suits the companys various dragon ranges. |
|
Your work is wonderful. I really enjoyed seeing more of it on your site. What a rush to walk into a shop and see your things there! earthen1 |

The Dragonsite started as just that, Dragons by named artists and sculptors but they expanded with an experiment with Faeries (since they are fantasy figures and they always said they would sculpt other fantasy creatures) the problem was, the faeries took off much better than anyone could have expected and they started to take over and they became very popular and thats when people who only knew the faeries and not the earlier dragons started asking why "dragonsite"? simple really, they started years before sculpting high quality dragons, it's just that most of the faery collectors didn't know this :) |

Wow! It's a small world. I've seen you on myspace and deviantart. I love your work. I hope you don't mind if I add to you my friends :) Rebecca |
