The beauty of Music
August 25, 2008
Medium: water colour on watercolour paper
Here is a violin done in water colour on water colour paper. I made a few first hand observations of real violins from a friend before drawing this out! It is supposed to be a violin on a wooden floor. I could have improved on many details on the violin such as the bottom part and the bow which one uses to play on the strings. It has not been done to full details, something which I could definitely improve on. The shadows, especially the darker regions, seem a little rigid. Perhaps I could have used complementary colours to the violin for the shadows so that it will appear three-dimensional, and at the same time, more lively. I think musical instruments are beautiful, and I love painting still life!
Comments are most welcomed, please feel free to criticize! Thank you (:
Music is the most wonderful thing in this world, I too love it
hey jing! dropping by!
anyway i think your violin is really good! i think violin is one of those hard to draw stuff (have seen others which looked really out of proportion) and i think your violin’s rather in proportion! =D
