I love the feeling in this artwork. The mood is haunting and fairytalish. The colours are very convincing I really feel like I'm in a lake. I would like more light and shade action though, I get the feeling you don't have anything 100% white, it could be the scan but in that case I suggest you use photoshop to adjust it using "levels". Also, you don't seem to trust the medium but need to contain it- I would suggest you try to keep the feeling and mood and then dare to go bananas with the colours. Watercolour are magic, if you let them roam free they can create wonders, and along with your beautiful sense of composition it can become pure love!

Wow... the expression of the face is really bone-chilling, at least to me. And I love how two of the bird's heads are entwined with her hair.

Haunting, strange, and lovely; contours and shapes that come to rhythmic life and musical substantiality at the whim of the artist's attention; singularly beautiful.

To be honest this is the best and most beautiful image you've done so far and I love every bit of it. Mostly how the swan and goose emerge from the hair and all those other birds like Kolibri, Dove and Humming bird :eager: Her eyes have the intense of fire and her hair is white as ice. The plants representing the earth and the blue background represent the air. You combined all four elements wonderfully in one amazing image :clap:
