#4 – Top of the World

The moon appears so bright, as though a window has opened up to shine a beam of light on the scene below. This piece was completed earlier in my art career, and this is demonstrated through the restrained use of linework. Despite this, the piece offers ample detail in the mountainous and watery forms in the mid ground. The luminous sky above is lit with a milky glow courtesy of the large moon. The deep midnight blue sky is completed in prussian blue and highlighted with titanium white. The rolling terrain is layered in chromium oxide green and paynes grey.
