Artist's Comments

Oil on panel
12x16

This painting was based off of a photo I took of the house next door.

I really tried to work on color in this one. At first I wanted to make everything really monochromatic in all green tones but decided to put red in the shadows (I have been playing with complementry color lately) so I think the color contrast and the contrast between blurry and sharp is what made it successful. I also wanted to make the drops look like they are laying on the surface of the panel which makes the panel become the actual glass of the window.

Drops on a Surface by ~MichelleAnderst is certainly one trippy painting! (Suggested by ~Anavelle and Featured by `De-Profundis)

You've blurred the background very effectively, and the water looks very real. Nice! =D :glomp:

Very nice work, I doubted this was a painting on the thumbnail...sorry about that :) I like it very much though, skilfully painted - simply great!

It looks to me like there are more water drops (compared to the previous paintings), which I find commendable. It's as if you're challenging yourself to be better at this kind of technique. I dunno. That's just how I see it. :aww:

I don't know how else to describe this other than awesome. It's so perfectly composed and those drops of water trickling down... So great.

Thanks! I really tried to work on color in this one. At first I wanted to make everything really monochromatic in all green tones but decided to put red in the shadows (ive been playing with complementry color lately) so i think the color contrast and then also the contrast between blurry and sharp is what made it successful. Oh and I also wanted to make the drops look like they are laying on the surface of the panel which makes the panel become the actual glass of the window if that makes sense.

There is my little critic:) Im really glad you like it!

I really love it when an artist elaborates on their pieces. So reading that was enlightening. =)

And you're welcome, by the way.
