Nature

Sun and Moon

The eternal dance of the sun and moon. This harmonious celestial scene blends the active, warm energy of the day with the restorative, cool quiet of the night. Natural symbols, flowing surfaces, and open space create a scene that can shift with your palette. Warm and cool colors can suggest different times of day, weather, or distance without changing the linework.

Preparing your canvas…

A way to begin

Find your inner equilibrium. Alternate between warm and cool tones to visually balance the contrasting energies within yourself. Practice noticing contrast and transition. Let one color lead into the next, and use the scene as a gentle prompt to imagine a place where you would like to pause.

Look for a warm-cool balance in the scene before you begin.
Use bright yellows for the sun.
Use cool blues for the moon.
Pause to notice how your colors changed the sense of space and atmosphere.
