Destiny

well.. this is basically my first painting - ever. and it definitely shows (also the largest creation i've ever done - bigger than A2)
up till now i only did pencil and pastel drawings. somehow i think starting with the chinese style can't be exactly the easiest thing..
the rocks are weird.. and my hands were shaking when i painted the characters.. that unfortunately shows as well. they were totally steady while i was practicing but as soon as i switched to the real thing they decided to start dancing ..
but! i finished the thing, which is a wonder in itself! and it only took me 4 days to get the courage together to post it here

oh, i never took it as such but it turned out it was a commission too


the chinese characters are suppose to say "control your destiny"

ink on watercolor paper, 50 x 70 cm (19.7 × 27.8 in) - i think that's B2 format
