Kaitlyn Hsieh, Wilderness | ARTonBOXES

In this digital piece, I wanted to incorporate the vibrant warm colors of many Group of Seven landscape paintings. It includes simplified tall standing trees, animals on each side (each animal commonly seen in Canada has become a part of the country's identity), and warm bright colors in the background contrasting with the cool colors in the foreground. I started with a simple grayscale painting, then used a gradient map to add on the base colors, contrasting colors, animals, and final details. The piece has four main focal points for each side of the box: the front is a moose, the back is a deer, and the sides are a blue jay and a squirrel.
