Description This was a school project. We were supposed to paint with the shades of blue, green and violet and use orange in some details. The background and greenish gray were painted with liquid ink, the tree and the lanterns were painted with watercolours.

I don't know how I got the idea for this painting, the painting just happened. I remember thinking something like: "This makes no sense, but I'll do it." I really like the lanterns and the tree and I'll probably paint more of them.

I tried to edit this look like the original did, but after third failed attempt I just gave up. I think this only lightly edited version is good enough. I also want to submit some of the older work here before the year changes. They have been laying in my folders long enough.

Thank you! Much to my own grief I can tell you that the colours look better in nature and I just couldn't capture them right in this.

you're most welcome!
That's too often like this, all traditional works loose some of their colours and atmosphere due to scanning or through a photo.

The work with multiple different colours are even harder to digitalize. I've never had problems with black and white or gray scale.
