Item Description
After reviewing several of the Beatles' songs, I settled on "Here Comes the Sun". I had several visual images for the song. I made a few scaled studies after referring to photos of ice, snow, winter, sunrises etc. to set the composition. After choosing the style that I felt most closely represented the mood and tone of the song, I did several full size studies in oil and acrylic. After prepping the violin, I first layered the sky and foreground with four to five thin applications using oil paint. I used oil rather than acrylic, because it had a softer tone similar to the music. Then the snow covered trees were added, which also took several layers. The colors I chose were to show the contrast of warm and cold, as well as demonstrate the changing mood in the song.
