From Here - Process ๐โจ

Hereโs the process breakdown of From Here. Since Iโve been listening to a lot of classical music, Iโve been really inspired to create princess scenes. I usually donโt work with too many purples, but I wanted to try it and combine it with warmer hues. ๐
Iโve been getting a lot of questions about how I choose colours; my process depends on the piece! Usually, I think about the scene first, whether itโs set in the daytime or nighttime! For this particular scene, I was pretty sold on setting the scene during the night to create a really nice glow that the lights will illuminate. โจ
So for night scenes, I always choose blues, cyans, purples, and even deep magentas. I try to stick to these colours since theyโre all relatively close in the hue scale.
Once Iโve chosen a darker colour, I find a warm colour to create a contrast in the painting. For this scene, I wanted to use a peach, reddish colour to compliment the deep purples and pastel blues.
Painting scenes like this piece always makes me happy since I love anything to do with princesses, quiet and dreamy scenes, and castles! I didnโt realize itโs almost been a year since I painted a castle scene (Wandering Star and Winter Castle.) Iโm thinking about painting more castles in the future since I love looking at them๐คฉ
Thank you all so much for your support here! It truly means the world to me! ๐ฅฐ
Love always,
