One of the only things I would probably critic and remember that is just a personal choice, nothing against your art, is the way that you apply the tecnique, I mean watercolor is a soft tecnique I would like to see more strenght in the colors, I mean I see that you hardly ever work the shadows I mean you do apply the shadow effect plus you hardly work on it. It gives me the sensation that is a not finished work, I mean maybe because it is too clear, or because the hands and in the places where I would seek for a strong shadow is hardly dark, I believe that takes away from the much wonderful work this could be.
though I love it, you always have a way to fascinate me that not many people does.
The first thing I have to say caught my eye were the colors. Such a subtle and beautiful use of blues that just seems to immerse my senses within the piece itself. The flowers shrouded within the blue background look amazing without being overwhelmed by the rest of the colors. The detail used in the image shows excellent skill as well. The facial features are wonderful and even the fingernails on each of the two hands look convincing enough. I also like to point out the good use of light refraction and reflectivity on both of the subject's eyes. Its just another one of those small, minuscule details that just adds more to the beauty of the piece.
The image also carries a powerful message within it, and it is clearly seen. The two subjects represent two people in love with each other, their tears can represent the hardships through their lives and the pains they had to have endured throughout. The flower being balance only by the lover's tongues, can represent the memories and cherished moments shared by the two people and each of them have a sort of spiritual balance with those moments.
Bottom line, it is yet another beautiful piece by our very own talented ^snowmask. It is a beautiful image to admire and is a worthy addition to anyone's collection.
