Continuing with my project to make paintings inspired by the season 3 My Little Pony Episodes I now present to you Princess Celestia representing Episode 1 part 1! ...even if she only appears for a few minutes in the beginning. >_>

I wanted to make a pair to the Luna painting I had already done so I chose to paint Princess Celestia in front of a sun to kind of mirror Luna's place in front of the moon.

As it turns out Celestia's hair is a pain to paint in watercolors and doesn't look quite right. But I guess that's what I get for deciding to use watercolors for this project instead of photoshop like everybody else. >_<

I do actually like how it turned out though. :) (...even if it took a about a day for my art to start looking good again after painting all night long)

Materials Used: Strathmore 140lb Watercolor Postcards, Windsor and Newton Watercolor Paints, Faber Castel Gold Metalic Marker, Sakura Micron Pens
