The goal of this exercise was to keep using a specific colour swatch to create a bright atmosphere with a fitting colour scheme. Therefore I firstly made some quick thumbnails (the 4 beneath) from which I chose one to continue working on. These thumbnails hardly have any detail and have a very simple composition defined by the colour choice. The value is all quite similar. This is a colour practice piece.
I named the final piece "Privacy" as the painting is very relaxing and simple, yet mysterious due to the umbrella. Who knows what is going on behind those rocks. Possibly a couple has retreated to there or it's just someone trying to get away from everyone to have a moment in piece. The colours are quite joyful and bright without any too strong contrasts. The colour theme might remind some people of vintage illustration covers of magazines or pin ups. Heavy brush strokes with high opacity also create a somewhat traditional painting feel rather than a modern digital one.
