Disney's Enchanted Art Direction

This is a sample of the concept art designs, visual development and final painted background I did for the magic well inside the castle's garden, where the main character, Giselle, will fall and go through the vortex that will lead her into the real world.
I did dozens of sketches for it before getting something that would fit the "Art Nouveau" style the director envisioned.

Final painted production background for the magic well. It looks very close to the finished color key concept. Check it out in the other pictures, along with a sample of the concept designs.

Sample of the dozens of designs I did for the magic well. The color key at the bottom is not the actual production background used for the movie, although it looks close. I painted it separately.
