Witch Mansion 🟠🐦‍⬛ New painting [Preview + Process]

Hello Patrons,

Here's this week's painting !
I have had this image of a lady holding her castle/tower in her hand in my Pinterest folder for a few month now and I love it :

I wanted to make something inspired by it, and it quickly became a witch sitting on her little mansion ! She's playing with tiny ravens 🐦‍⬛
Here's what I managed to paint in about 1h30 :

I was afraid the house would be too detailed for me to paint it accurately, but it became a little challenge and I actually had fun painting it !
First layer - as you can see it's not opaque at all, that's why I usually do two layers of acryla gouache when I paint :

Second layer + starting to draw the balconies and details :

Third step : the other facade of the house in blue to add a little contrast to this sepia palette :

Here's the final painting 🧹

Closeups :

The house is not perfect but I think it looks ok for a first time !
I found this 3D printed mansion on Pinterest/Etsy and used it as a reference :

You can see it from different angles on their page, it's super useful if you want to practice drawing architecture 😊

That's it for today, I hope you'll like it ! I can't wait to paint more witches 🎃
