Paradise
“Paradise” is my first landscape in around 3 years! I saw this photo on a friends page almost a year ago, and decided that if i wanted to get back into this subject, this would be the best place to start.
This piece took over 25 hours to complete over the course of about a year. It was a leisure project, one I’d work on whenever i had enough time to, but nearer to the end of 2024, I suddenly had a burst of inspiration, and powered through the last few hours
Painting a landscape in the same odd style as I paint my portraits was a lot more interesting than I thought. Capturing this much detail with minimal shading prove quite difficult, but oddly enough it was almost meditative after awhile. I almost wish I had kept count of how many shades and layers were added to the canvas!
