Amy Brown

Even thought I love the beauty of world renown artists like Monet, Manet, Rembrant, these artists have pure talent.  I also have a favourite modern artist, her name is Amy Brown.  She is known for her fantasy art and the beautiful techniques she uses with watercolours.

I find there is something that inspires me about her work.  Not only because of the mythical side of things, but because the poses of her characters seem to jump to life.  The softness and delicate poses, just as a faerie would.

I also get lost in the control of her watercolours.  Over the years she has advanced her talent that I admire even more.  From painting beautifully coloured faeries she then challenges her self to using only a certain amount of colours in her pieces.

This does drastically change the feel of the paintings from, warm fun and friendly to cold and eerie, but still captivating.  This can be seen by some of the pictures I have posted.

  1. One can see an influence of the Art Nouveau with this illustrator. The works that break out of the reactangle are interesting compositions.
    Interesting how you gravitate to artwork with a strong design quality. D
