just to clarify....i swear i did not draw this.i cannot draw anything even remotely close to this.moreover,we have different drawing styles and i dare not touch paints.this is completely her work.

good for her age,but i guess water color paintings are softer in nature,she has used the water color as poster colors,applied very thick layers,just an opinion if it helps her improve.

Good work..she is talented, but I really dont understand why you posting so many threads a day. We all have someone in our family who is talented,do we post it here? I couldn't resist saying this:(

mufy...she does do that.but not as often.will post more of her works sometime later.i don't have them scanned.btw,this painting was done on size A2.so it's fairly huge.and this is just a photograph of the painting coz we don't have an A2 size scanner.

afrinnabees....quite true.even the original artist will not be able to recreate something he has done.

Any work tat is recreated is fallen for an crticism..but looking it as piece of art ur sis need much more training as she could shine well in this feild..as a comparison she is fair cos she had done justice to grt artist work....

amazing work. now ask her to draw things of her own rather than recreating so she can come with wonderful works. i liked her big dot painting style wer she has used dots to represent water from the fountain and some leaves on the left and the flowers. she deserves encouragmnt from family and friends to pursue art

Very good for someone with no training, and better than many people with training. :) She needs to learn to refine the edges a bit and make them sharper, but otherwise I like the way she upped the colour as it speaks to her personality. Very good job and I hope she keeps at it. :)

the original was done by South African artist Dr.Michael Durst....the difference will very much be there in the level of professionalism.

Bestheartman, you with your silly comments.. i guess your age more than 11.. can you create anything even close to it?

i should say your sister is very talented and must develope her talent..

The original appears lively, happy and vibrant. But the recreated one has a bit of darkness in colours, looks a bit sad I would say even though she has used so many colours. Would not have noticed if the original was not provided though.

thanks for the comments everyone....she has had no training whatsoever in painting.and all the techniques,etc. are her own findings.

You will notice in the original that the flowers look more natural...that was missing in the recreation...Just a thought...

Quite nicely done. Maybe a little less colorful could've made it more appealing.

this is the picture she has recreated.she has added a touch of her own but has kept the theme as close to the original as possible.

I guess the rainbow colours at the top right corner should have been avoided to give a more natural look.. Again it depends on the artist what she is thinking...

Anyways keep it up.

very nice painting whether itz done by age 11 0r 12 as some of mine friends posted in this thread. it doesnt matter if it is done by any age. v should see the creativity hidden in it. very few people has this talent and we should try to appreciate it rather than seeing the age. hope to see many more paintings of ur sis.
