Hi!

Today I decided to start a painting for my niece, Brooke. She requested a Hogwarts painting a while ago but I didn’t trust that I had the skill to pull it off. I still might not, but she’s going through a bit of a rough patch, so if it turns out I’ll gift it to her and hopefully it’ll make her day a bit brighter.

I started with a 16″×20″ canvas and used blue, white, and black paint to create the sky and basic shape of the castle. Tomorrow I will add the details to the castle and probably go over some of the clouds again. I feel like I’ve got a pretty good start.
