Creating the perfect piece / The ARRAN PROJECT / X Studio LBI

4/3/2023

The main task in creating this painting for this lovely Studio LBI project involved incorporating colours and textures which had been input into the space. The 120 x 90cm canvas was to be hung above a sofa in the main living area which looks out onto the sea in Arran. The canvas was measured to perfectly fit in-between the two wall lights above the sofa. The seaside/coastal element was to be incorporated into the composition; creating a scottish landscape piece with natural tones to mimic the natural setting of the building and interiors.

Interior Moodboard - Studio LBI

The designers at Studio LBI incorporated nature inspired, earthy tones into the scheme - think lots of neutral weaves, rattan, wood, natural stone and marble, warm brass, and greenery. I wanted the painting to capture the interior scheme in its palettes and be used to tie the space together.

Once the painting was ready to go, a 3D view was developed to give a real idea of what the painting would look like in the space.

The finished images

The painting was finally framed with a solid oak frame to tie in with the natural wood in the scheme. The finished images show the calm, coastal feeling of the room - a definite favourite paintings of 2022! Interior design: StudioLBI & Photography: SuzieLoweStudio
