Art Gallery adventure

We set out to Waterstones to attend a display of 'Nancy Farmer's' work, after reaching the 4th story that is. I was not aware hoe much artists actually earn until I saw the price tags... approx £250 a pop and also sometimes up to £1.5k per painting. The amount of detail that went into this persons work was quite impressive - on first inspection I suspected it was water colours and later after looking on her website confirmed this (Well, thats about all I learned to do on the art course I took over the last holiday), This person uses a technique where she wets the paper, allows it to expand, then tapes it to an easle and waits for it to dry again... the reason? so when she paints on it again with water colours the paper wont 'puff' up as it normally would. before painting though everything is done in pencil (with some pretty damn impressive detail) - I liked Nancy's effort and dedication (as she has done a lot of these detailed paintings) but unfortunately the style and content was not my taste, don't get me wrong as there where very impressive paintings there but they didn't really make me feel anything - I guess the only pixies and mythical creatures I appreciate are the ones on computer games that I can go toe-to-toe with. Anyways, here is some of her work - I hope you enjoy it more than myself
