Thank you very much for your comments!
Textures are due to salt (:

I don't remember whether I've ever actually gasped when I saw a painting before, but I gasped when I first saw this. I especially love the line of trees and the fine detail of the grass and flowers in the foreground. Gorgeous.

What sort of technique do you use for the backgrounds on these? It looks great!

Thank you!
Actually I only paint a watercolour wash, and then put table salt on, which creates such texture.

Fantastique, sublime féerie nocturne, une image digne d'un conte de H.C. Andersen !
Les contrastes, les couleurs, le cadrage, tout est là pour nous faire voyager, du grand art !

Tu penses à un conte en particulier? (:
(j'aurais plus pensé à un conte traditionnel russe ou scandinave!)

Merci beaucoup!!

HydromelKing In reply to Sieskja [2015-05-10 14:49:53 +0000 UTC]

Ben, oui Andersen c'est bien un scandinave ! Mais je pensais surtout
aux paysages enneigés du grand nord que l'on peut trouver dans
la reine des neiges (même si je ne l'ai pas lu) et aussi au plus connu
des contes russes Baba Yaga (quand j'étais gosse, j'avais un livre avec des
illustrations magnifiques sur ce conte !).

Sieskja In reply to HydromelKing [2015-05-10 17:00:14 +0000 UTC]

Oui je sais bien mais ses contes ne m'évoquent pas particulièrement la Scandinavie médiévale et sauvage
Les contes russes illustrés par Bilibine, à tout hasard??

HydromelKing In reply to Sieskja [2015-05-10 18:26:22 +0000 UTC]

Je vois ce que tu veux dire, c'est vrai qu' Andersen voyage beaucoup dans
ces contes et n'exprime pas spécialement de prime abord son côté scandinave.
Non, l'album que j'avais a été édité chez Flammarion sous la collection des albums
du père castor et illustré par un français qui s'appelle Christian Broutin. Pour mon moi
petit garçon ces dessins avaient un côté presque magiques !

Tiens je ne connaissais pas cet illustrateur!
Cela dit Bilibine a aussi illustré pour le Père Castor (:

It's great!  I love the jagged line of the silhouetted forest and how it istn't quite clear just where earth and sky are separated in the background.  It is very atmospheric!

I'm always fascinated by the structures it creates.
Do you use a special kind of salt?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Sieskja In reply to dieroteiris [2015-04-11 08:47:45 +0000 UTC]

Nothing special, only table salt.
But the reaction depends a lot of the kind of paint, water, paper, color, etc... We can never be sure about the created effect!!
