Happy December everyone! I finally finished painting a piece that I started working on in March! It went through a lot of iterations and changes over time. I would revisit it every couple of months and then make some changes to the idea until it finally became what it is now. I included some process shots in this post so you can see how it evolved. It’s funny because I can see the influence of the seasons on this process. It started out much more of an early spring mood (which is when I took the reference photos that inspired it), and ended up being very autumnal in the color scheme!

Oh, I just love this so much! The way the antlers mimic the trees is perfect.

Have you made a tutorial on how to paint forests?

There are many things that I like and want to learn from your work but if I have to chose a few, one is how to use a lot of dark values bordering on black without eliminating the joy of color in its all glory. Another one is ( if that is learnable at all ) the bravery you display in the way you mix colors, mixing the “happy accidents” with method and intentionality and always getting the best result. Pure magic! ❤️

thanks so much for this comment! I'll keep it in mind, and for now I can recommend this tutorial on choosing colors which touches a bit on using substitutes for white/black: https://www.patreon.com/posts/tutorial-colors-39277902

I just became your Patreon and I know I'll spend every day digging through and marveling at your illustrations. I can't wait to see more step-by-steps - this is usually why I become a patreon. :) I absolutely love your art and I hope I can implement what I'm learning from you. I'm on IG as @freedz_art and I hope I will improve. :) Thank you so much! Sarah
