Illustration from the Irish fairy tale "Gold-Tree and Silver-Tree" It's kind of like an Irish Snow White...here's the story I read/illustrated: [link] it's a strange story. But then again, many fairy tales are.

Used this as reference for the pose: [link]

I think I spent more time on the background than on anything else in this piece. GAHHHHH KNOTWORK TAKES SO LONG.

11"x14" watercolor on 400 lb paper :)

Isn't it? So many fairy tales have so many dark elements...Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty...
Btw, your drawing is beautiful!

I learned in my illustration history class that a lot of these classic fairy tales were actually originally written for adults, and then were later sort of toned down for children.

I agree! Well, you can see that from the many love stories that occur in fairy tales. Besides, I am sure many of them where consolation stories to dream about for poor unfortunate girls or boys who hoped for a better life!

You watercolored knotwork?!?

TEACH ME YOUR CONTROL. :amazed: Seriously, I love the stone colors, the muted shades of this piece in general- very striking!
