Background Image for Page 4 -- Setting Sun

View fullsize

This is a potential background image for page four, The kids will be looking down on a crowd of animals who are also going to the circus. I say potential background because I may come up with something else tomorrow. I hope that I’ll be satisfied with this one. I’m trying to spend less time painting background images for this book — they’re hard to do and they take up a lot of my time. To get to this painting, which I like, there were 20 that I didn’t like.

I painted this with Clip Studio Paint’s default Round Watercolor brush. To get the texture to look right for a 300dpi image, it’s necessary to scale up the texture in the brush settings.
