Have A Restby `memod

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Landscapes & Scenery

Seems like I actually managed to finish one of the many personal paintings that I have started over the course of the past weeks and months, whenever work allowed. This one began as a tiny ballpoint sketch in my sketchbook...and developed into a little more work than I had originally anticipated. Partly because I wanted to paint this one without using any photos or textures. But I had loads of fun, and I hope you will enjoy it as well!

I will probably upload the print next week. Am looking forward to hear what you guys think. Much love

Again, your painting tells a story. First I notices the cabin, which looks inviting with it's warm colors and rays of sun. Then I noticed the waterfall and the birds above, thinking that I'd love to stay in a place like that, wanting to know what else hides in this paradise. And then, after looking a few times at the suspicious shadow, I had to admit that it's a hanged corpse. Immediately I again started to look around the painting, trying to find clues to what has happened there. Little by little, details emerge. A blue scarf, chickens on the yard, a fawn...

The contrasts you've created with colors (yellowish brown / blue, dark / light) is striking, as well as the difference between the clear sky and dark, intimidating forest. You really know how to handle your light, and I love the way you painted the water! It look very realistic!

Overall, this is a good stor- painting. One that makes the viewer think and want to know more. Stunning!

What do you think?

I like the texture on the roof of the house, and the leaves also seemed to take a bit of effort for this. I love the light blue feel of the sky, though the mountains seem a bit cartoonish. I like the texture on the water and the trees that seem to be hiding something behind their trunks, providing mystery inside the image. Very nice. Your shadows were good for the house, and it provides an ancient and nostalgic feel to the portrait itself. I also like the fawn you put in the background.
The only thing I'd recommend you to do is to make sure that your idea hasn't been used a lot. I feel that it would benefit you if you choose another color besides blue in the corner to tie the scene together. Other than that, I love the master piece.
