 For the final project "digital painting" I chose to lean into a heavy blue background, creating mountains shifting into darker blues the closer the mountain is to the viewer. Then adding a red ribbon to contrast with the blue colours. Due to this piece being a digital painting I wanted to experiment with small details by zooming and shrinking, so on the furthest mountain I included a campsite with a fire going.  once I felt like this was a satisfying painting I had to think and choose what id add next, and keeping the theme of nature i chose to include leaves, birds, clounds, and trees, then to include more with the human interaction I included the silhouette of climbers. 

 here we can see the start of my piece, I wanted to start with something familiar to me, mountains. With this I plan to add less anticipated pieces to it, ribbon, camp sight, many small details to make you really want to look closely at the work. From that point I then will be adding other small details found online, using pngs I want to find what could work cohesively with this colours I chose and background itself.
