CREATIVE PROCESS
Humble beginnings…Early stages…
I first divided each section of shadow and light departing from one focal point . Then I painted the sections where the snow is seating on the ground. And then I painted each tone of@cold and warm colors for the snow and the ground, on each stripe of shadow and light. ISABELLA GARAFFA
…for me this was more mathematical than I would prefer, and when I’m mostly working with my left side of the brain, this composition just played games on my mind like crazy! 🤣 I’m so glad I’m done now and I can do the fun stuff. ISABELLA GARAFFA
