Inside looking out

This sunday I decided to try my hand at a digital painting in Krita.

Rembrandt van Rijn’s Tobit and Anna

Johannes Vermeer’s Girl interrupted

I had some of Vermeer’s and Rembrandt’s paintings in the back of my mind, as a reference in terms of lighting and color. Especially the white (north) light casting through a window was something I wanted to try and approach.

First rough blocking

Fixed the perspective, defined the shapes and removed the chair

Final stage, with added shadows on top for claustrophobic effect
