This picture is a powerful visual representation of a very sad moment in Cinderella's life. She is in tears, her face in her hands and her stepmother and stepsisters look on with a mix of glee and smugness. The strong contrast of feelings between Cinderella and her family paints a vivid portrait of the injustice Cinderella had to live with. To bring out the depth of emotion in this image, I would opt for some bold hues to emphasize the sorrow in Cinderella's face and the manner of her family. The sky could be a striking blue, the walls of the castle a wheatish yellow, and Cinderella should be mainly colored with a marlinspike hue. Her step family's figures should be a slightly darker shade than Cinderella. The scattered furniture should be dressed in a warm brown. The whole drawing should be filled with deep and rich colors to perfectly express the mournfulness of the story.
