The characters featured here are: wandering merchant Sienna who specializes in fabrics and taste for travelling the regions in search of their natural oddities like this glowing Floura plant, Keone her loyal assistant, and Kaipo the trusty torthorse. I did this for the "Environmental Frame" theme in I tried to kind of put Sienna as the main focus using the bridge and the branch. This theme was interesting. I don't think often enough about where the viewer's eye will naturally go first which is one of the key factors in composition so yeah it was a good exercise to actively put my mind to it.

Still getting used to watercolors (I need a LOT of practice) but it's a fun medium! I think my biggest issue right now is being patient, like with most things, and figuring out the right ratio of water to paint. I also worried about mixing the paints too dark, especially skintones, but I forgot that watercolor lightens quite a bit when dry so it turned out fine. Keone might have needed his skin to be darkened a tad actually. Definitely going to be trying to practice a lot more with watercolors (and composition of course) this coming year.

I still have six composition themes left...will I make it? Probably not. Am I still gonna try? Heck yes! Wish me luck huphup
