The warm desert air billows around the sand dunes in this tranquil scene. At the center of the landscape is a grand palace stretching up into the night sky. In the foreground, a man seated on a magical flying carpet with two birds in tow soars across the sandy terrain. He wears traditional robes of the desert and holds a sword in his hands. Overhead, the stars and moon hang in the sky, like small polished jewels in a midnight blanket. To color this charming image, consider shading the palace in bright blues and yellows to emphasize its magnificence, while staying true to the desert setting with warm shades of red, yellow and brown in the sand. The birds can be a cheerful hue of sunshine yellow, while the man and his flying carpet can be decorated with regal purples and vibrant teals. Use a gentle gray to shade in the night sky and dot the stars and moon with a soft white. A beautiful scene is sure to take shape!
