"Angel's Treasures ๐ฆข" Process
Added 2021-02-01 02:46:55 +0000 UTCHere's the process for "Angel's Treasures"!
I've been seeing a lot of ornate mirrors and sculpted candles lately so I had this idea of painting a vanity set up for an angel! I wanted to create warm atmospheric lighting lit by candles and the golden hour.
I had a lot of fun painting the objects (especially the candles!) Although, I must admit that painting this was pretty challenging since I had to restrain myself from adding too much detail to the objects! Sometimes, itโs difficult to net get carried away ๐
For the central point, I want the viewers to focus on the Angel while the objects help illuminate her. I chose a pretty limited palette to create a sense of cohesion which will help showcase how all objects belong to her (ie. her gold accessories matches the frame, jewellery, lighting)
To help bring even more attention to her, I made sure the brightest values are her wings and the lighting!
I've attached some of the inspiration for this piece! I hope you guys like it โจ

Thanks so much Sarah! For the final image, I added some adjustment layers. So I brought up the contrast and levels and played around with the curves tool. I also played around with Selective Colours to change the whites into a cooler hue!

I usually don't work with too many layers when Im painting landscapes (less than 20) or when I'm working in Procreate but detailed paintings like these range around 70-100 ๐
