Inspired by a poem about fairies, I solely used my imagination to sketch & paint this fantasy scene of a fairy creating magical clouds that twist and turn around her. Painting with watercolors allowed me to give this mythological design a dreamy effect and seem right out of the imaginary worlds I used to picture as a kid. I primarily used cool colors of blues and purples to give the piece a more relaxed atmosphere with a calming nature as would be associated with entering a dreamworld. A touch of white gouache was also used, adding flecks of white to the clouds to enhance their mystical feel.
The painting is approximately 8 1/8 inches (20.6 cm) wide by 10 3/4 inches (27.3 cm) tall and is framed in a black wood frame approximately 13 inches (33 cm) wide by 16 inches (40.6 cm) tall.
