"Contrast" Time Lapse

Summary
"Contrast" is the 56th video game painting by Mal on MalMakes.

This painting is inspired by The Unfinished Swan. She recently played through the game with Stephen for StephenPlays and really loved its concept, especially that of the beginning part of the game where you have to paint your surroundings to figure out where you are.

It is worth noting that she created this painting in a very different way from her previous paintings. In order to achieve a splatter effect like in the game, she had to cut out stencils of each part of her painting that she wanted to splatter with black paint.
