Digital art_2022. Half Moon Wreath
Hi friends!

I'm still inspired by Christmas themes - we still have a festive mood in the air and even Christmas trees are still standing in apartments.
It was a task for an art contest - it was necessary to draw **a winter flower**.
And what flower is more wintery than poinsettia?

Sketch in **Paint Tool SAI 2**
I looked at many different types of Christmas wreaths and concluded that human imagination has no limits.
I chose from different photos a few elements that I liked.
For example, I liked the crescent-shaped wreath. As well as a house, Christmas trees, an owl and Christmas toys...
Something like this I will draw

Choosing a base colors.
I decided that I won’t have saturated objects here, everything will be in pastel light colors and in many shades of white

Chose a tint color of half moon

I decided to draw a blue wood door as a background for the wreath

Decor of wreath - a house and a fir-trees

And now the hardest part - decorating the wreath.

I want to draw a purple shadows for green brunches (then I made it more transparent, on such an intense)

Adding another objects of decor: the owl in the roof and stars

Then I make a shining of stars (with blur of duplicate layer and change blend mode to **Dodge**) and drop shadow from wreath to the door (on new layer too with **Multiply** blend mode and 70% opacity)

It remains to make the poinsettia flower beautiful and recognizable

And hang a wreath on a ribbon

![11_.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTtSX1aehCB496KfQR7ZqT5pgF3EVjuyAwnThJgz4YDm7/11_.jpg)

I also decided to increase the backlight of the flower to bring it to the fore.
I did it with some colorful brush strokes on new layer and set blend mode **Pin Light**

![12_.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmVhjHyheGxEWRqwqgQNnK4xgXfv3a5UJr8tuNE5KwpnSc/12_.jpg)

Yes, maybe someone with this decoration on the door celebrated Christmas
