NIGHT SKY DESIGN PROCESS

Design, WatercolorJennifer Whisenhunt

An old friend recently asked me to create a custom painting based on a John Donne poem, "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning." In this post I'll walk you through the inspiration I drew from the poem to create the final image I painted and I'll show you how, through many draft paintings, I moved from an idea in my head to a final painting.
