In this painting, I used a harmonious palette of soft blues, warm ochres, muted violets, and creamy neutrals to create a sense of warmth, light, and tranquility. Rather than relying on realistic color, I layered unexpected hues to suggest the changing effects of natural light and to bring energy and depth to the deer's features. Deconstructed edges allow the deer to emerge gently from the surface while maintaining an atmospheric, painterly quality.
