I really like the layering aspect of art, especially when it adds an interesting range of depth. I feel like it creates a much more interesting composition and story which is why I was inspired to create a similar style for my piece.
Watercolor has a very organic and loose look to it which I really like, especially when it comes to painting people. I felt like it would be a good medium for my work since the idea was a more expressive piece.
Certain scenes like these really draw me in, most likely due to the beauty and enchantment of it. Specifically, "glowing" trails like this always seem to lead to adventure or something inviting which I wanted to include in my piece as a symbol of hope and a new life.
