Final painting
Added more details and contrast.
First sketch
Chair selection
I was sure of the rest, just needed to have a good armchair for rest.
Testing colour compositions
I already had the broad scheme in mind but putting it on paper was a great exercise/test.
Pre-final composition.
"Farewell, Master Burglar. Go back to your books... and your armchair... plant your trees, watch them grow. If more people... valued home above gold... this world would be a merrier... place..."
This dialogue by Thorin in the Hobbit - Battle of Five Armies, struck a cord with me.
A warm place to rest with a cup of tea and a book, best way to spend a day at home.
