Another movie study !! I'm so happy I get to do these during my free time !
This is a movie that I watched when I was younger (in high school maybe ?) and I had such a good memory of it, I loved it but never rewatched it again until last year and let me tell you I cried during the whole film π₯Ή
I love everything about it, every scene is beautiful and inspiring, the clothes, the songs... everything. So I really wanted to paint Satine and Christian, but it was hard to choose one scene, they're all so magical and mesmerizing. So I picked this one :

It's been in my Pinterest folder for years ! I have a bunch of other references from Moulin Rouge but at some point I had to make a choice πΆ
Here's the sketch :

First painting session : background.
There are so many complicate things going on in the background that I was glad to start with the annoying little details (and finish with the fun part : characters) :

Next day, second session : I started with Satine π I like how her hair turned out !

And next I painted Christian - I thought it would take me longer to finish this study since there are so many details, but thanks to Christian's suit, I just had to paint his head + shirt and it was done !

Details :


The characters don't look exactly like the actors but the looks and clothes make it ok I think.
I'm quite happy with the result, I hope you are too !
Next I want to paint (another) Grand Budapest Hotel scene with Zero & Agatha (when she's baking the religieuses). Last time I painted my first Grand Budapest scene was in 2020 - I can't wait to see how I am going to do it differently this time !
That's it for today,
Thanks again for your support on Patreon ! πβ¨
Hugs,

Hi ! I usually pick my favorite scenes from my favorite movies ! Even though it might seem like a tough choice to make when there are too many inspiring scenes, just pick one just to start painting something. Maybe you could make a list of your favorite movies, and search it on Pinterest ! There are a bunch of interesting scenes you could use as references π₯°

May I ask. How do you decide which scenes to do movie study of? I want to do the same, paint scenes of movies, but I find myself having hard time making final pick. And then I procrastinate. π₯²
