Here's my first painting of 2024! ๐ฅฐ๐
Thank you for helping me choose the colour palette for this piece! I wanted to paint a painting based on the year of the dragon; which is the wood dragon! ๐ชต Since pink was included in the palette, I wanted to incorporate plum blossoms into the painting! So I decided to design the dragon inspired by a plum blossom! I know plum blossom trees don't accurately look like that, but I had to make changes to fit the narrative ๐
I'm trying this new method of not using the color adjustment tool in the middle of my process. I'm only leaving it towards the end! That way I can focus on fixing my values and making sure there's more depth and form to the painting rather than relying on colours to "fix" things! ๐ I'm enjoying this method so far because it trains my eye to notice what needs to be addressed in the first few stages of the painting.
Here's the brush set mentioned in the process:
Overall, I really enjoyed painting this piece! I had so much fun figuring out how to combine the pinks with the green palette ๐ฅฐ
Thank you all so much for your support! Have an amazing day everyone!
Best wishes,
Maxine
