Shadow and Light - A Forest tale by Aprajita Lal

Escape into the ethereal beauty of dense forest canopies and reconnect with your inner being. Shadows and Light: A Forest Tale leads you into a peaceful state, where you are withdrawn from the chaos outside into the quiet within. In that fleeting moment in the dense groves, you are enveloped in the magic around, experiencing the sense of both tranquility and mystery.

The color palette includes former shades like ochre, golds, and earthy browns, as well as cool tones of greens and muted blues. Yet the overall appearance of this composition remains warm. I have used techniques such as layered washes for the luminous background, dry brushing to add texture and details, and directional composition where the shadows and light seem to be originating from a single point in the centre to draw the viewer within.
