In my monochromatic landscape painting, I chose to work with the hue purple to evoke a sense of tranquility and depth within the scene. The original image I worked from featured a stunning ombre sky, transitioning from lighter to darker shades, which I wanted to emphasize in my interpretation. This sky, dotted with stars and clouds, set a serene tone for the entire piece. Below, a winding pathway led into the mountains, drawing the viewer’s eye into the distance, inviting them to explore further into the landscape.

​

One of my key goals was to create a sense of depth and dimension in the scene. To achieve this, I carefully used lighter colors in the foreground to pull the elements closer to the viewer, while darker tones in the distance gave the impression of depth, making the environment feel vast and expansive. I also focused on making the mountains appear more detailed by using a single base color for the mountains and then varying the tones. The further mountains were painted with slightly darker shades, while the small details, like lighter highlights, added depth and enhanced the overall scene. This approach allowed the mountains to feel more textured and dimensional, helping to ground the composition in the landscape.

​

For texture, I used cloud and star brushes from Brusheezy to add intricate detail to the sky, enhancing the sense of realism and adding a bit of magic to the atmosphere. The wet-dry media brushes, which are pre-installed in the application, allowed me to create a soft, fluffy texture for the grass, bringing a tactile quality to the painting. I wanted the grass to feel inviting, almost as though you could reach out and touch it.

​

Overall, my intention was to make the sky feel alive—like a cold, gentle breeze had just passed through, perfect for a peaceful night. The coolness of the air and the softness of the grass were important elements I wanted to convey to create an immersive, calming experience for the viewer. By combining the textures of the grass, sky, and mountains, I aimed to evoke the feeling of being in that moment, surrounded by nature at its most serene.
