From Here - Process πβ¨

Hereβs the process breakdown of From Here. Since Iβve been listening to a lot of classical music, Iβve been really inspired to create princess scenes. I usually donβt work with too many purples, but I wanted to try it and combine it with warmer hues. π
Iβve 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 itβs 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. β¨
So for night scenes, I always choose blues, cyans, purples, and even deep magentas. I try to stick to these colours since theyβre all relatively close in the hue scale.
Once Iβve 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 didnβt realize itβs almost been a year since I painted a castle scene (Wandering Star and Winter Castle.) Iβm thinking about painting more castles in the future since I love looking at themπ€©
Thank you all so much for your support here! It truly means the world to me! π₯°
Love always,
