My yesterday's painting got 750+ upvotes and was one of the most upvoted post on Hive yesterday! I sincerely thank everyone who voted and support my art.
It's very strange how these algorithms work, that was not my best painting my any means .. but not everyday you get to the pole position馃榿
Today I painted this morning scene with beautiful light coming through the trees. It's a calm city scape, may be a park with people out walking and cycling.
Sketch
I just made some lines indicating the pavement and horizon for the sketch. The key art here is the cycle and I thought will draw it after the background is done so it won't fade off. There is a chance that the pure white on the shoulder would be lost here but I can do with that and use some Chinese white to fill it in.
Process
Started painting the sky and trees and the light coming through it. It took 30 minutes to finish this part.
Painted the road next with yellow and brown towards the near side and it fading towards far as blue. Added the shadows of trees later with purple and ultramarine blue.
Missed to take a pictur at this stage.
At this stage I made outline of the cycle and then painted it. And added few more figures at the far region.
