Compositional Painting

I loved/enjoyed painting this piece, one of my favorite so far. This painting has some of unique proportional settings and it sends very euphoric, mellow feeling. I didn't realized that this piece had little bit of similarity or similar vibe from 'The Lord Of The Rings' until when I did the concept and started painting this piece, maybe its because of this intense light brightening up the entire space.

Later on, I have looked up some references from 'The lord of the rings sketchbook: Portfolio' by Alan Lee, very fascinating indeed and was an immense help for this piece.

First, getting the concept work done.

Now, put some colours into it to see what kind of vibe it's going to emit.

Freshening it up

Then voila! putting some heavy contrast does give this painting even more chill to it.

Since this piece is going to be a compositional painting, its obviously essential to put character as well to match up with the environment. So this picture shows where I will paint the character and hope it fits well with the environment.

Progression and progression, the character's shape may have been done, but it needs more painting to do.

With numerous amount of tries, it got to this stage.

Plus, boat is just a bonus, maybe by putting a boat, there will be another perspective view which the boat goes towards to the sunlight.
