Inspiration from Seoul: Full-Length Tutorial

May 19, 2025

I recently had the privilege of taking a trip with my brother to Seoul, Korea.

Despite having lots of cloudy days, I was able to snap some photos to work with when I returned to my studio. This painting is one that has been inspired by some of these scenes.

I hope you take some time and try your hand at this scene!
