Hey Selma, I’ve been thinking about making a series of hand‑drawn nature scenes for each season—something that feels calm yet vibrant. What colors or textures do you feel best capture the mood of spring, summer, fall, and winter? I'd love to hear your ideas.

Spring would feel light and hopeful – think soft pastel greens, gentle lilacs, and a watercolor wash that feels almost like mist. A slightly airy texture, with light, almost translucent brushstrokes, can give that airy feel. Summer calls for warmth – bright yellows, ocean blues, maybe a hint of coral. A thicker, more vibrant texture, like a subtle impasto, can capture the sun’s intensity while still feeling soothing. Fall is earthy and cozy – deep oranges, burnt sienna, mossy greens. A textured, leaf‑like pattern, with a slightly rougher brush, brings out the richness of the season. Winter feels cool and quiet – muted blues, soft greys, and pale whites. Thin, almost transparent washes or a very light, almost invisible brush texture can convey the stillness and hush of snow. I think each season can have its own gentle color palette and texture that stays calm yet vibrant.
