Description

We decided with Virtuella to challenge ourselves and choose 2 photos (one from my area the other from her) and paint the same landscape to see how we will cope with it . So he is my version.


And here is link to Virtuella 's version www.deviantart.com/virtuella/a… .


I think I lost a bit focal point here ^^'... it was really challenging to paint it for me.


Painted with aquarells on Fabriano paper 200g/m2 24x18cm

Дякую. Мені було досить складно, але я радий, що мені вдалося це закінчити, а не забагато його. (Я сподіваюсь, ви зможете сказати мені)

(As I don't speak Ukrainian I'll write also in English to be clear if it translated correctly ^^': Thank you. It was quite difficult for me, but I'm glad that I managed to finish it and not spoil it too much.

What a great idea, it's good seeing two different artists interpretation of the same scene, hope to see more joint efforts!

Thank you . Just observing Virtuella 's techniques I realized that she paints in different way that I use to do and I was wondering how we'd cope with the same scene as it was hard to compare our works because we use to paint different things .

I see that you also use to paint landscapes so feel free to join us if you want. It will be even more interesting to see 3 versions . We're going to publish only when all are ready to not suggest others how to cope with it. The next one we're going to paint is this one:

. It's taken in Zakopane in Poland, it's place called Droga pod Reglami (Road under Regles) in Tatry National Park . And I must admit that these rocks scare me XD. I have no idea how to paint them yet XD.

Wow, thats quite a challenge, i have printed it off and will try to give it a go over the next couple of weeks! Thanks for including me,

No problem, as more people as more fun . I'll go back to this idea in next month I think. Now I'm quite busy with World Watercolor Month ^^'. But I'll let you know when we start again, maybe someone else would join too?

Feel free to start anytime you wish , just wait with posting untill we all finish our versions to not suggest how to do it, ok?

Great that gives me more time then. 😊 Finally finished and posted painting I started two months ago today...I have been distracted with summer! I look forward to seeing all results, it's a challenging picture!

Take me toooo as it seems so nice and fresh and foresty.
Let's play in the waterfalls

Kizzy-i-Keinstein In reply to Whobleyh [2018-07-17 06:03:57 +0000 UTC]

wait... or not San river but Wisła river itself? Close there is Wisła spring on Barania Góra (Sheep's Mountain) but on San also are such waterfalls... uh idk... I'm so terrible in geography XD. Anyway Ustroń is trully beautyful place and great for healh recovery .

Kizzy-i-Keinstein In reply to Whobleyh [2018-07-16 13:08:16 +0000 UTC]

So since this waterfall is that tricky then feel invited to visit once Ustroń here one day where is San river with similar waterfalls . But tey are safe, water maximally reaching neck and a lot of people enjoy playing in these waterfalls. It's even safe for children because I used to spend there vacations as 3-6 years old child and these memories are very pleasurable for me. I'd love to spend there vacations once again one day . If with my workoholism I ever go to any vacations XD. You know that you're only one person saving me from overworking for death by making me playing with you Guild Wars 2? XD No one else take care... o.o me either.

Sounds amazing!
Water is most fun when you can play in and with it
We should go finding waterfalls in guildwars and have little vacations there to hehe
And I'm glad by the way that I can infect you with the urge to relax sometimes, kizzy
It is great to share those moments with you, so it works from two sides

Kizzy-i-Keinstein In reply to Whobleyh [2018-07-24 06:55:01 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, especially in hot days. Even such sun lover like me likes to splash a bit in water if it's too hot .

Yeah, in Guild Wars 2 is a lot of beautiful places! Just wait to see new maps on desert . At least they are not so crazy and hardcore like Maguuma...

And it's nice to hear that it has positive influence also on you . Just... we can't play untill late night (early moring? ^^') too often because next day I'm zombie and hardly can do something useful, not mentioning complex stuff like programming. 23:00 should be max for me (because then I discuss with sis strategies and builds for next 1-2h like yesterday and I again went to sleep after 2:00 am XD).

Oh my XD
Well you can say whenever you have to go
I don't mind.
Plus when it is work days for me I am bound to be tired as well and

being a zombie the next day is no good for me either XD

Kizzy-i-Keinstein In reply to Whobleyh [2018-07-24 09:45:49 +0000 UTC]

The problem is that I have too much fun to say stop XD. I don't blame anyone for that (just myself a bit XD).

But maybe if we'll officially set that we start at, say, 18:00 and play to 22:00 (what of course will end on 23:00 as I know us XD) then will be better for us both .

Whobleyh In reply to Kizzy-i-Keinstein [2018-07-24 19:27:08 +0000 UTC]

When I work I'm not home before 19;00 and still have to make food and stuff XD
So we always eat after that time which makes it a bit hard to truly play at 18;00 for me.
But I can just say at 23 00, GO TO SLEEP KIZZY!

or 22

Virtuella In reply to Whobleyh [2018-07-15 12:44:16 +0000 UTC]

I don't recommend playing in the waterfalls themselves - there is a very steep drop into the gorge that will almost certainly kill you. However, just a little upriver from there, it's pretty safe to play among the rocks in the riverbed.

Woah, I love it! Great subtle colour variations in the rocks.

Kizzy-i-Keinstein In reply to Virtuella [2018-07-23 11:44:41 +0000 UTC]

Thank you ! I think that I painted these rock in too similar sizes what doesn't look really good ^^'. And I have impression that it all blends together and from distance it's just one big colourful stain XD. I surely have to practice more painting from photos. It's really hard!


I fell in love to the golden shade you told me about. It's so organic, not flat like many paints. It gave the mood to whole painting I think . Rocks are mostly random result of experiments XD. I tried to reflect this yellowish moss but it was so hard ^^'. I think that I shouldn't try to reflect stuff just like on the photo because with my current skills it's impossible but try to choose elements and stylize them to use whole potencial of aquarells .


But I must say that it was very educative for me . I hope that you enjoyed it too .

At least this place is real (or at least a bit similar to the real ) so this time it would be easier than on previous XD. Thanks!
