Quiet Painting

 

     My first painting is inspired by the feeling of a soothing rainy day. For reference, I took pictures while walking around in similar weather, just as the sun was setting. Eventually, I came across this area and decided that the enclosed space and gentle lights against the bluish-gray sky were perfect for the aesthetic I was going for. Here are a couple of the sketches I made before starting on canvas, as well as some of the underpainting I have so far. Right now, I'm focusing on really emphasizing the grayish tones and gradually building up color (Madison).
