This time the VSD is held much earlier so as to accomodate the holiday season. I loved the reference, the two little cottages and the snow. But I wasn't entirely happy with the white background and foreground and wanted to give it more color. So I decided to make it an early evening shot instead of the good daylight shot that it is in the reference.

Nice work Nithya...I love the fact that you decided to change the whole atmosphere..
ReplyDeletePart of what appeals to me about VSD is all the ways artists choose to make the original source materials their own. You certainly have given a whole new and unique look to the scene. What fun to switch it to a night scene.
ReplyDeleteYour's was the last of the December VSD's I visited and it was so refreshing - what a beautiful night scene - great job and nice interpretation of the scene
ReplyDeleteNice interpretation! This month's photo was perfect for transforming into a night scene. Beautiful blues.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to change the photo into what you like - very good night-time mood to your painting!
ReplyDeleteNice night scene out of the ref. I think the blue wash adds to it.
ReplyDeletenice interpretation, and again, I'd learnt a lot with all of you!
