Making a Christmas painting for my mom inspired by the below photo.
It is still very much a work in progress. I’ve decided I don’t like the tree in the background. I plan to paint over it and I’m looking for advice on what to put there instead that will balance the colors and composition.
Current ideas include a window with some kind of snow scene, or just make it a red wall, maybe with a vague wallpaper pattern.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or feedback.
What I’d recommend is getting a scrap of paper, dividing into small squares, and quickly sketch out 4-8 possible ideas, keep it small and rough and you can quickly compare how the ideas will look and pick your favourite.
Could have snow and a moon, a big window if you want it still in a house, a snowman, a sky and santa in the sky, lots of christmassy ideas.
