PleinAirpril day 21 sketch and planning (Patreon)

Hi Patrons!
So, you guys asked how to combine refrences so we can create better original paintings! We can elevate our studies so much by doing this:)
As you see I found a beautiful ref of the snowy environment, then I wanted to combine it with the Scandianvian style castle, and to top it all of I want to be inspired from the color combo from the Game of thrones scene!

I want the athmosphere to be quite harsh, unfriendly, and of course super cold. Also I think that the Game of thrones pallete is doing a nice job of having both warms and cools. The warms are a bit grey reddish, and are focused on the walkers in the front.

By doing all this this we can create original pieces, that combine different aspects from the refrences we find!
This sketch would be featured in my next tutorial:)
