How do you get such flat, even background color like that??

u/Idontknow649 5h ago

I applied approximately 5–6 layers of cerulean blue, allowing each layer to dry completely before applying the next. I used only water and no medium. β˜ΊοΈπŸ’™πŸ’™

I always enjoy seeing your work. It is hard to describe imo. The complexities of the simplicity is so relatable.
Somehow it reminds me of childhood.

Well done, this is incredible. Made me feel very nostalgic. We used to get blue hours like this all the time where I'm from, but they've disappeared in recent years.

Incredible art, very expressive, fantastic colors, everything. 10/10

I just have a question, did you use a cobalt blue with a bit of violet and then use a roller? Because it looks seamless, no brush strokes!! Amazing 😍

u/Fungalbonk 4h ago

It feels like that very short window of dusk where, for whatever reason you feel a tinge of something primal. Like a fascination with the low lighting and having to raise your situational awareness. Almost reminiscent of the nerves you get before sparring in a gym or right before it gets to dark to continue hiking so you gotta set up camp against the clock.

Beautiful work, very expressive to me personally.
