Mana Tree: Painting with water colours by example

Quite satisfied how my version of the from for the turned out.
Feel free to compare it to the original art of the Secret of Mana Mana Tree [goombastomp.com].

While I used , I also realise I probably haven't really used the medium the way it is supposed to be used. Perhaps I should give acrylics a try too. :)

I like using it for backgrounds such as water and sky, but I struggle a bit with using it for mid- and foreground details.

It will be interesting to come back to this piece, and redo it when I've grown more accustomed to the media and techniques.

It's long overdue, but I'm attempting to paint the from for the again, this time in portrait mode to get more of the tree in.

It's quite likely gonna take a while to finish this. I want to put more detail in it than in the previous version, and take more time layering it.

Once I have this version done, I also suspect doing another one right away, since I'll have a better idea of how all the objects come together on the smaller paper size.
