Amoureux du bord du lac

Painting this with my partner over a weekend was the perfect excuse to unplug and just be together. The lake and sunset gradient were so soothing to blend, and we genuinely laughed at how our lovebirds turned out slightly different but equally charming.

The two lovebirds on their perch are so charming, and the way the lake reflections are laid out made it easy to get a smooth, natural blend. I painted this with my sister over a weekend and we kept stopping to admire the sunset colors coming together.

The sunset gradient on the canvas came out way more vibrant than I expected, and the lake reflection really pops once you layer in the water colors. It’s a cozy two-person project that kept us chatting past midnight, and the finished piece looks lovely above our couch.
