Born by the moon

A lonely swan named moon floats across the endless expanse of blue waters.

He is part of the moon, he is born of the moon, and he is free as the moon.

I wanted to create such a picture after I heavily filled my camera's memory card with photographs of the moon against a blue sky.

One of the photographs was damaged and it could have been scrapped, but I decided to do it differently.

I decided to use the imperfections of the photograph and turn them into its strength.

Yes, digital painting is probably not the most difficult task, but you can buy an easel and canvas, paper, pencils and oil paints in the store, spend a lot of money, then stand in front of a blank canvas and have no idea.

Probably the idea is the most valuable and it doesn't matter how you bring it to life.

Perhaps you will have enough available materials if the idea touched you.

The blurry, indistinct moon has become an excellent material for depicting a swan.

For greater reality, it was necessary to portray a reflection in the water.

The final touch is the work on the shadow and our moon swan ... swam.

For my publications, I do not use stock photographs, it is fundamentally important for me to use photographs that I have made with my own hands for publication and I can name them - authorial work.
