The painting unequivocally symbolizes solitude as a place to find quietness and peacefulness. It boldly represents a respite from the stresses of the world, a place to find rest and comfort.

Basic Procedure:
ā€¢ Outline or sketch your painting reference.
ā€¢ Paint using a lighter shade of the background by creating a beautiful texture.
ā€¢ On the middle ground, paint the first layer of the subject.
ā€¢ The same procedure with the foreground.
ā€¢ Once the first layer is completely dry, you can proceed to paint with a darker shade of coffee.
ā€¢ Then add details to come alive of your painting. I used a liner brush for the thin details.

Take note: In putting details, you cannot have sharp lines and shapes unless it is completely dry.
