Hi everyone!
For my career counseling, I got an assignment to make something that shows how my journey now feels.
I got a canvas and got my soft pastells out (I only have 6 colours, and I used 5 haha)
This is me creating a view from inside a cave to an outside world, with the outside world tickeling slowly to the inside.
For me it looks better from a bit further away
(don’t mind the mess, I have no excuse)
When making this, it made me realise how much I love doing this and how long it has been
(I wasn’t sure if I should post or not, but decided to do it any way because I need to take more “risks”)

YES, POST!!
I love the skyline. Although I know it is a cave, it also feels very theatre like. As if we are going on a journey.

That blue is so vibrant yet so serene. I love how it is flowing into the cave. So beautiful!

Glad you posted it! I really like it. the way it makes you feel you are actually in a cave peeking out. and only 5 colors - that’s pretty good!
And “don’t mind the mess, I have no excuse” That’s totally me. Sucks when you can’t blame someone else!

I like how it can be either coming out of the shadows in the cave into the vast light filled outside world or the outside world (the ocean) slowly filling up the cave. Either way it is a lovely analogy!

The fact that you used only 5 colours is amazing, and the scene is wonderful
