Creating Warmth and Mood with Color and Light

Color harmony, warm tones and light help to create mood and beauty.

This is a painting I created recently with what is probably my favorite color palette.

I love gold, brown and red tones.

There was no cloning involved in creating this image, not even a vase of flowers to look at. I just opened Painter and started to paint. I painted a background . I then painted the other elements of the bouquet on layers – all the while envisioning direction of light. Strong composition is always important.
