Description
Harence was having a good day. Admittedly, he was only about fifteen minutes into said day, but so far so good. It was one of those rare mornings when everything was bright and fresh, and you felt like you had miles and miles of time before you really needed to do anything.(Harence isn't from anything, I just wanted to paint a vaguely non-human guy sitting at a big stone window.
)Duuude, I'm out of ink. So I had to use black acrylic paint for the detail work and the shadows on this one. Mixed media, I guess!

Thanks! I love dappled sunlight. It's definitely something I want to paint more of.

I'm honestly in love with the texture you achieve with the watercolors, that combined with the warm and colorful palette makes for such charming portrait β€β€

Thanks! This kind of scene is really fun for me. I particularly love playing around with dappled sunlight.

No problem! And it shows in the best of ways, it makes for a very interesting portrait in the end as well
also I'm still trying to think of a character so sorry if it takes me so long to reply! I don't want to come up with a lazy excuse to get a random painting haha

Definitely! And now that I get a chance to make a better world building I must take it. You'll probably end up regretting it when I end up giving you a giant synopsis of my new OC you helped create

I'm excited to see what you come up with!

Ha ha, I think everybody secretly (or openly) wants a window like this. Or maybe I'm just projecting.
I've been trying to do more actual settings lately, not just characters standing in a blank space... Though let's be real, I'll never stop painting those either...Β

No, that's exactly what I was thinking!! A window like this to sit and read at would be the dream!!!! (You know that the balcony in the "balcony scene" isn't textual? It's a cool staging that became traditional later, but Shakespeare only specifies a high window like this one and that's probably all his set consisted of. That's the first thing I thought of when I saw this, because the setting looks so warm and Italian.)

I didn't know that! Very interesting. As kids we had an old wooden deck/stand thing that used to belong to a large standing pool, and the top bit of it served as our tree/playhouse. Something that always happened the first time one of us got up to the top was that the kid would lean out over the parapet and say "Romeo, Romeo, where are you, Romeo?" So, for us, the staging involved an old pool stand with a compost heap underneath.

I would 100% watch that production and then write a review that was like, "The compost heap foreshadows the entombment of the lovers as a paradoxical nourishment for Verona's arid and unyielding soil."

That was also the extent of the play, since it was the only part we knew. And even then we still fudged the line.
