I had to switch out my winter painting a few weeks ago already for one more suited for spring. However, I realized my tree painting was more suited for the summer than the spring. So, the brushes came out and a cherry blossom moonlight picture came to be.
I started by painting the background by making a large white circle and layering colors out from there. I mixed a lot of fuchsia and purple with colors such as red, blue, white, and black. I then used a grayish-brown to paint the branches, while adding darker brown and white highlights to the branches. Finally I mixed pink and purple colors to create the buds at the end of the branches.
It is definitely more whimsical than realistic, but with this never-ending winter, I am okay with that.
