In this blog post I’ll be going over the most challenging part of my painting. I struggled a lot towards the end of this painting and I’m not gonna lie, it was extremely frustrating and disheartening.
The three main colors I wanted in this painting were blue, pink and purple. Now at the time, just three colors sounded great, but then I realised just how difficult that was going to make the whole process. I had to think alot about color placement and even when I thought I chose the best placements, it still went wrong. I made the sky blue with pink, purple and white highlights. The cloud underneath was pink and her mane and tail were purple. But now that I had all three colors surrounding the body, I had to figure out what color was going to work best. I eventually decided to go with blue as it was the color that had the least amount of contact with itself. So I got to work painting and when I was finally happy with it, I took a step back to see it a bit better. I was so frustrated because the blue on the body blended right into the background despite the shade and hue being different. I had to repaint the body about 4 times before I was satisfied with it. Even now I’d still like to change some things, but I need to make sure I stick to schedule and get all of my paintings done. If I have time when I’m done, I will go back through my paintings and try to touch up some stuff I may not be very happy with or just want to improve. As for my alicorn, I ended up adding some darker shades of blue as well as some hues of pink and purple to try and bring it forward from the background. But with that being said, I still think that from a distance, the body and sky clash with each other.
