Completed: March. 17, 2022. Dimensions: 11x14 inches. Medium: watercolor, gouache, and micron pens I applied watercolor washes to block in the colors and highlights. I applied glazes of watercolor using a dry-in-wet technique to build up the opaqueness of my colors. I added white gouache to my highlights and yellow hues to make the shades lighter. The setting is a cave because I wanted to imply that they found relief from the storm in the cave. I noticed in my reference pictures that the shadows had purple and green hues, I made my shadows have green and purple hues to add more complexity and interest in my piece. I created contrast in my piece by using bright highlights and dark shadows with small amounts of value in between. The contrast between the light and dark conveys how my characters have overcome their challenges.
