Ron&Hermione Wedding

[leelastarsky]

This painting is the first of a three part series that I'm doing for belovedranger. This one is for her story Something Borrowed, in which Ron and Hermione get married at the Nook, surrounded by family and friends.







The people surrounding them are -
On the left-hand side - Bill and Fleur, Molly, and Arthur.
On the right- George and Fred, Harry, and Ginny.
(there are more present at the Wedding of course, but limited space on the paper! ;~) )

This pic was rendered using watercolours, Copic markers, gouache and acrylic.
Planning to post a proper tutorial using this pic as a wip in the near future. For those of you who would be interested. ;~)

This is so lovely! I adore all the leaves and Ron's outfit, rowr! Totally hot :D I adored the wedding in Linda's story and this is a great picture to go with it.

It's very beautiful. I loved how the autumn background mixed in with Ron, Hermione, and everybody else. :)

LOL.. wait 'til you see the *next* piece she's doing for me. Right after the wedding, on the train.. still in those clothes, sort of... : ) Hee.

I love this art, too. It is fabulous!

I really love the whole flow of this art - from the boughs of the trees to the falling leaves. I love their clothing and those faces! The bliss and pride is so evident.

Thank you so much!

Oooooooooooooh! Ooooooooooooooh! When will that be posted????

Thanks, Liss! The leaves were 'fun' in that they were all hand painted; no simple photoshop brush there. ;~P And I'm glad you liked Ron's outfit!
Hermione's dress has some detail on it too, but that doesn't show up on the scan, which makes the hard copy art special for belovedranger.

OMG, this is absolutely gorgeous! The details and expressions are wonderful. And the bride and groom outfits! Really love Harry...and Bill and Fleur too...so much to LOVE about this piece!

I'm sure Linda will love it! Am looking forward to the other two pics (I'm sure I read somewhere there are three in the set).

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you like it! There are subtle details on Hermione's dress, and to some extent on Ron's suit, which were done with a paint that doesn't reproduce in a scan. So only you will get to see that! ;~)

Thankyou! :~)

[belovedranger.livejournal.com]

I forgot to mention that I'm really looking forward to the process tutorial on how exactly you made this! I am so excited about the art. *hugs*

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks! When I post the wip tutorial on this you'll see how the autumn leaves really brought the painting to life. ;~)

The other two pieces are in progress, but you see Leela's sketches of the set here: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y187/belovedranger/colourroughweb.jpg

The middle art is from the train ride to the shore, and the art on the right is from the honeymoon itself.

Well, I find it really intersting to watch (the painting grow), but I'm very anal that way! It was amazing the difference the autumn leaves made to it. ;~)

[lissannej.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the link! They all look awesome and I shall stop spamming Leela's LJ now, so if you're on Y!M, Linda, and have time for a chat, I'm there!

[lrthunder.livejournal.com]

The autumn leaves really fit in nicely with the Weasleys. Great job! :)

[belovedranger.livejournal.com]

I knew they would!

I mean, the whole time I was writing the wedding ceremony outdoors, I was picturing these leaves streaming down... see, just like you did it! *grin*

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thankyou! Great to hear you enjoyed it. :~)

[kiwikewte.livejournal.com]

So precious. I love seeing Ron and Hermione together and getting married... it's so natural.

[magicicada.livejournal.com]

Wow! So beautiful! I love the concept, and everyone looks really amazing. Fantastic work.

[mudblood428.livejournal.com]

What a joyful scene :). I'm searching for a word to describe how much I'm enjoying the color scheme you've created for it, but I'm at a loss for words, I'm so touched by this picture. *thunderous applause*

This is absolutely gorgeous! I'm not a R/Hr shipper, but I love the happiness on their faces--all the facial expressions are wonderful. Thanks for sharing your work.
