OMG, that is amazing.

You are very kind, thank you. :)

This is incredible!

It's sweet of you to comment, thank you so much. :)

Absolutely GORGEOUS. Oils are so tough but so rewarding when you achieve such a result. Beautiful: I'd hang it on my wall!

Thank you! Oils are tough to get the hang of, but once you do get the knack then I think they are WAY easier than watercolours. (Watercolours are a bugger, but so many people use them, yet they are the most unforgiving medium in the world.)

And thank you again, the idea that someone would want to hang it on a wall is...like the best compliment evah! Thank you!

I totally agree with you, although at the end of the day I am one of those guilty of liking watercolours best, ehe. I think most people use them not knowing an alternative that is as quick and cheap.

I've checked out your other art as well, and I was wondering if you didn't mind being friended - I'm always looking for more cool artsy folk on lj and your work is so great! Plus there's Stephen Fry in your icon. Real big bonus there.

Well, it completely depends what look you want in the finished painting of course. All the different mediums have very different looks and styles to them. I do love watercolours when other people use them, but I'm no good with them myself. (and they don't suit my painting style)

I'd love to be friended, I shall friend you now. (Yes, lovely Stephen Fry!!! *G*)

God, that is so beautiful. If I were Arthur, I would definitely have to carry it next to my heart.

Awww, thanks! (If only the series would go the whole hog and embrace the slash in the same way that Torchwood does...... *G*)

WOW. *is blown away*

I love the little story that goes with it too. ♥

itzcoatl February 24 2010, 20:59:30 UTC

Thank you very much! (I have a little, happy, Merlin-place in my brain where all sorts of stories get carried out. *LOL*)

Oh, and I forgot to mention, I've been reading your fic and you write some bloody AWESOME fic. Just saying.

mysecretashes February 25 2010, 22:13:46 UTC

Oh, thank you so much!! ♥
