Mysterious Yet Happy Trees

Here I have a cool down digital painting I made using Clip Studio Paint on my Android tablet which is a Galaxy S6. It's a relaxing process to take a big brush with some texture and transparency and block in a rough composition. Then to build it out with some value of light areas and shadow areas.

Often that's where the playful relaxing painting ends. Then sometimes I see a scene emerge. A city scape, mountains, or in this case a mysterious forest.

I might finish this thought on the digital canvas or take another session to clarify what I'm seeing. Add to the work with small brushes and complimentary colors to bring more clear details here and there. A little clarity helps give the impression of an implied whole tree or building.

That's my post for today, this little forest of mysterious happy trees.
