4 hours. Last painting in my “5 Centimeters per Second” series. There’s a total of 6 paintings:
- Light at the Tunnel; Dec. 27th
- Field; Dec. 28th
- Crossroads; Dec. 29th
- Street of Lights; Dec. 30th
- Two Fields; Dec. 31st
This one was actually completed before “Two Fields” which was finished this morning. I painted this one last night before I went to bed. (Although it took a little longer to paint, I had a lot of fun experimenting with brush settings. It was painstaking getting a cluster of lights to look like a cluster of lights. It was also the only painting I had to desaturate a bit because the colour was coming on a little too strongly.) All the other paintings (though not in chronological order in sequence with the movie) had a personal, individual element to it; this makes a better closure piece in that it gives a feeling of interconnectivity to counter balances the theme of distance.
And because I didn’t get to paint all the scenes that I wanted, I’d share the screencaps:
My next project would be exercises from “Beyond the Clouds” which I hope to complete before I begin school again. It was a fun way to end a year. Then I think I would have had enough practice to go back to my WIP. Happy new year!
