In the christmas of 2024, my partner Swen and i went to Lungern, Obwalden to spend the christmas. Lungern is really a beautiful small town in Switzerland and seeing this scene at night with snow was magical. Painting this piece was a delight. This painting belongs to the serie called “CMYK Chronicals”. Here is the process:
First, i start with an ébauche underpaint which literally means a sketch underpainting to map out my basic shapes and form.
Then, i followed it up with Yellow from CMYK.
Then, i do a rendering in grisaille which is an grey scale painting. Grisaille is K(keycolour) in CMYK.
Finally, i finished it of with a lot of Cyan from CMYK with some finishing touches. I needed to make the snow shadows with phisycally mixed pastel blue and peachy pastel orange for the transition.
After the grisaille, i start to do fun part of painting which is glazing. In this painting, strated with a lot of Magenta from CMYK.
