Brushes used:

• Basic Sketcher
• Flotastic Brush

Canvas Size:

• 2300 x 3000 pixels

Key Skills Learned:

• Layering for texture and depth: You learn how to gradually build up detail by layering shapes and brushstrokes from background to foreground, using size and opacity variations.
• Color mixing through brushwork: Instead of blending, you apply a variety of shades with deliberate dabs and strokes to create depth and vibrancy, especially in the foliage and flowers.
• Adding detail through controlled brush size: By gradually decreasing brush size and switching colors, you create the illusion of detailed flowers, windows, and textures without overworking.
• Using Alpha Lock for clean shading and accents: Alpha Lock becomes essential in keeping your textures and highlights inside the shapes—especially on elements like the roof, windows, and clouds.

Key Skills Learned:

• Using negative space to measure proportions: Checking the shapes between objects helps ensure accuracy when sketching and positioning elements.
• Layering for better control: Separating leaves, vases, and the background makes it easier to refine details without affecting other parts of the painting.
• Enhancing realism with texture and color variation: Using both soft and crisp brushes, subtle textures, and color shifts creates depth and a more organic look.
• Adding reflections for a glossy effect: Duplicating, flipping, and fading the vases’ reflections on the table gives the final artwork a professional touch.
