Mystical Flower in Autumn Woods - Process (Patreon)

Hello Patrons 💕✨

Here's the process of my latest painting! And oh boy, this painting went through so many stages. I wanted to try out a new method of painting process by doing rough passes of the values and painting over it.  

It started out great at first, but I think I struggled a lot with figuring out the storytelling for this piece and how to visually show it. I also struggled with the palette since bright reds are something I'm not used to working with! I also haven't determined how I want to do the lighting so tackling this painting with all those combined was very challenging 🫣I think I will try this method for smaller paintings instead of immediately tackling a large illustration with it 🤡 I was definitely feeling ambitious and it got the best of me 😅

I am going to try working with more reds in the future since I do have some ideas with colour palettes that feature dark rich reds! Especially with fall coming up! 😊🫶

That's all for me! Thank you all so much for your support! Have an amazing Tuesday! 💕✨

Love always,

Maxine
