When the world goes against your will, smell the sea spray at sunset and let the wind wash up all your sorrow.

For one perfect moment, everything is harmonious and peaceful…

For a long time I felt bad not drawing enough landscapes and backgrounds, so I decided to get on it and I drew this. I used a reference photo of a sunset in Iceland (I’m facinated with this country since I’m little) and I added Rainbow Dash in it. I tried painting her with the greyscale technique (when you paint in black and white and add the color after) but I feel like the end result could’ve been better if I had used my regular technique.The rocks and the grass were hell to paint, but I loved painting the sea and the sky (the colors were so fun!)I added some colors on rainbow’s wings because I really like when her feathers are a different color from her body. It makes the wings pop out and it feels more realistic (most birds have different colors on their wings).

And if you’re wondering what this rock in the sea is, it’s called Hvítserkur, and it’s situated in the North-West of Iceland (I’ll let you have a look at Wikipedia if you want to know more).
