I was hit by a whim to do....yesssss, a fairy! O_O I know! Egads! You haven't seen what else is up my sleeve!! XD Anyway, I've been tinkering around with the idea about using more 'natural pigments' (ie; coffee, tea, flowers, herbs, etc.) with watercolor. And this was my first attempt with tea...Acai and pomegranate green tea, which creates a very intense blood color (well, richer and almost maroon in color) but has wonderful undertones of blue and purple (as you can see in the background). I just wanted to work in a limited palette as well. This one being in red - hence the title "Red". I know, unoriginality on my part, but I had no clue what else to call except maybe "Red Haired Fairy with Glowing Ball" - but thats a mouthful. Red will do. Tonight or tomorrow its either black or purple. And the other thing up my sleeve.

Original for sale $10 - please contact me if you're interested.

Big thanks to :iconmenschenmaterial: reference: [link]

What a beauty! and RED!;-) I can't believe it's ACEO, it's so detailed:faint:
I tried to use natural pigments but dropped it since it's even more unforgiving media then aquarelle, which I use now...
You did a fantastic job!:clap:

Thank-you! And its red too! The acai and pomegranate tea were very forgiving with the watercolor - give it a whirl sometime!

Thanks! Been wondering what that was. Is it still for sale, and if so, how would I pay? You can write me a note if you feel more comfortable.
