Art

Peaceatian artists have a specific art style where they only use different shades of green. Greens are often re-used for simplicity and ease. These shades of green are created by taking the leaves of trees, and soaking it long enough until the pigment from the leaves turn into a greenish liquid that can be used for painting. To create darker shades, artists crush leaves and mix them with alcohol for a more striking green. See an example of a Peaceatian painting to your right.

Preservation

Since the pigment of leaves fades quickly, artists apply multiple layers and cover their paintings with thick layers of tree sap to make it ever-lasting. Additionally, they regularly re-layer their paintings to not make it fade.

Why green?

There's more than enough trees and tree leaves around to use for supplies, which makes green an easily accessible color for painting. It also doubles as symbolization and a constant reminder for the grand Plains in which they reside.

Style

People are often drawn amibiguously without any detail. This also applies to the background, which causes the image to get a minimalistic look, as if it was drawn by a little kid. Brushes are often soft, flexible twigs with long grass bundeled together and attached with plant fiber to the twig to create a bristle.

Gold

After Bell found ores for the first time, including gold in the year 3, artists started using golden rims for their paintings to give them a more regal and refined look.
