Holding the door to Braith's section of the studio open, Bryony levitated her 12" by 17' canvas out into the communal hallway. It wasn't a huge canvas by most artist's standards, but it was the largest Bryony had ever allowed herself. She'd prepared it for paint ages ago and it had been leaning against the wall in Braith's area of the studio for weeks while Bryony dithered over what to do with it. Finally, after Mother's Day, she had the vague beginnings of an idea. Though it would be a sort of portrait, she was starting with the background and for that she needed more windows than Braith's studio allowed her access to.

Once the canvas was propped against the window, she returned to Braith's studio and retrieved a cloak which she draped over the dress form. In the months she'd been here, she'd never seen anyone use it - didn't even know who it belonged to - so she could only hope they didn't mind. Satisfied with the drape of the shoulders, she started to prepare her paints, focusing on greys and blues, with a small patch of yellow off to one side where it wouldn't be easily mixed with the others by accident.
