| 3 Jul 2003 |  Sander Schoemaker | Put the painting up very quickly! It's so wonderful. This looks a bit more tragic. The wings look brazen and torn and the tree dead. And I can't see the sun. It's like, when you compare this to the painting, the angel is waiting for the sun to be painted, like you can wait for the dusk to come and bring these wonderful colors.   Meike de Nooy replies: "Heh, I know what you are trying to say... though before I can post that I need to file a complaint to the mods because they wanna take my "corner" away which I can see why they think it isn't fantasy, but it is! So I need to handle that first before it gets deleted..  Sh*t happens" | |
| 31 Jul 2003 |  Emily C. Floyd | Aww, I think I like this one almost better than the painting. It has a very ephermeral quality to it, very insubstantial. Those ragged wings certainly add to it, and the color of the pencil(?) you did it in. That brown looks sort of ancient and decaying.  Meike de Nooy replies: "Whoopee! My bad quality scans have a pupose! No, really.. the paper I did it on is slightly yellowish and it's a simple 8B pencil. And I have the problem that my sketches always seem to have more feeling in them then the larger pieces.. (that is if I do a sketch first) the reproduction always seems of lesser emotion. So I agree with you on that." | |
| 4 Aug 2003 |  Treeflower | i really like the sketch a lot better than the painting.....maybe it was just the scan, but i think the sketch looks a lot better. Great Job!!!  Meike de Nooy replies: "sketches seem to hold in them the feeling you gave the picture the first time, when reproducing it always seems to loose some of that..." | |
| 18 Aug 2003 | Jo Dieleman | I like sketches to. The are mostly done in a few minutes and that gives them a very spontaneous look and a good reflection of the feeling the artist had on that moment. Sometimes I like my sketches more than the finished paintings. I like this sketch to. It gives me a strange kind of peaceful feeling. Amazing how a few lines have so much to tell.  Meike de Nooy replies: "I never used to sketch.. It's something I only do since the last half year. Before that my sketches either became my final pieces or were considered final as a sketch  I'm learning, but yes.. I often like the feeling in a sketch better so it's a must to make the final (larger) piece a succes too, to keep yourself happy..." | |
| 18 Aug 2005 |  Jo.D Ciel | I think too sketches have something you can't reproduce exactly in the second version. It just can never go the same way. Beautiful sketch ...I like the painted version too but I decided to comment on this one, well, to pay homage to sketches. | |
