Light in the Endless Woods Tapestry

For this piece I wanted to emulate a deep dark forest in the early morning or midday. It was a challenge to get the rays of light painted (or rather, not painted) in a way that made them believable in shining through the canopy. I'm pleased with how it came out, especially how the shadows came out. I used gouache paints, masking fluid, white crayon and the original painting took around 8 to 10 hours to finish.
