ESCAPE-ELM GROVE AND THE MILKY WAY

 iPad Procreate aids in sorting out a colour strategy, as well as cropping the sketch, adding distortions, and trying out squirrel v.s. sparrows as punctuation.



I worked on this composition over a year ago. After reducing my colours to 2 or 3, a split complimentary group of yellow, teal, and violet seems to work, to get the transparency in the shadows and the glimmer in the highlights. Exaggerating the angles of vertical posts to a four-dimensional distortion makes the sky a more interesting shape and the space inside the balcony more angular and more interesting. The pink underpainting will contrast well with the teal.
