It's so cute ! The colours are really nice, it has a bit of a stardew valley vibe, I think. Don't mention the lack of shadow, nobody notices.
Thanks! I stood for ages in the local shop, getting weird looks as I held various shades of green up against the WIP to pick the right ones. Glad that apparently paid off ๐
I believe some painter said you can go to the paint store, and they have 100 different shades of greens, and not the one you want. So that tracks. And no, I don't remember who that was or googled it properly.
And if anyone ever asks about it, just say that the shadow went "off the block" toward the back of the bench.
Same, immediately thought of SDV! I love it, it's such a lovely and peaceful scene. Great work!
