Warning: I have a lot to say about this one.

I started this one last July after I saw three other artists paint using coloring book pages for line art and classical paintings as a color reference.

Ryan Wood: [link]
Sam Neilson [link]
Katie De Sousa: [link]

I'm sure others have done this too but I don't haven't seen them.

I used a few color references. Two by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, which were my primary sources of color: [link] and [link] . Flora reference was by William Adolphe Bouguereau: [link]

The coloring book page I got from here: [link]

....This took me forever. I don't think I was ready for this when I first attempted it. I had some problems with the values--something I wouldn't have known much about in July.

While I painted this, I found myself wanting to paint other things when I heard a specific song or watched an awesome movie. To counter this I did nothing but listen to Disney music and watch Disney movies. I'm to the point where I want to watch something with a lot of violence--something the opposite of all the Disney. Which is saying something because I completely adore Disney! But maaaaan. Here are all the movies I watched while I painted: Snow White (of course) Dumbo, Bambi, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, Sleeping Beauty, 101 Dalmatians, Sword in the stone, The Jungle Book, The Little Mermaid, The Rescuers Down Under, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Tarzan, Lilo & Stitch, Pete's Dragon, Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Who Framed Roger Rabbit (Touchstone is a part of the Walt Disney Corporation so I say it counts, plus I'd originally wanted to paint Jessica Rabbit instead of Snow White, but decided to keep it to a Disney Princess thing).

LoL I need to stop staying up so late painting.
