Plan your next Été session
Our guide helps you deepen your Été experience by focusing on the core creative loops—exploration, painting, decoration, and color experimentation. By observing how each system interacts, you can craft a more personalized and satisfying artistic journey.
01 / THE GUIDE
Stamp Diversity
Compare stamps gathered from two distinct neighborhoods. Note differences in flora, fauna, and architecture, then incorporate both sets into a single canvas to see how varied elements blend.
- Take time to notice small details; each unique element becomes a stamp for future use.
- Compare different neighborhoods to see a variety of visual ideas for your album.
02 / THE GUIDE
Color Palette Expansion
Collect three rare pigments and mix them into new dyes. Test each dye on a simple sketch, observing how hue shifts affect mood and contrast.
- Experiment with rotating stamps in 3D to add depth to your paintings.
- Try recoloring collected stamps to see how they change the mood of a piece.
03 / THE GUIDE
Studio Layout Optimization
Arrange furniture in multiple configurations, recording which layout feels most inspiring while painting. Consider how placement influences workflow and visual comfort.
- Mix and match furniture colors to create a cohesive visual theme.
- Use the precise placement feature to design functional workspaces.
04 / THE GUIDE
Commission vs. Free Art
Complete one NPC commission and one unrestricted artwork. Compare the creative constraints of each and reflect on which process feels more rewarding.
- Search less‑traveled areas for rare pigments that may yield unusual colors.
- Compare new dyes with existing ones to see how they affect the overall composition.
05 / THE GUIDE
3D Stamp Manipulation
Select a stamp and experiment with rotating it in 3D on the canvas. Observe how perspective changes the perceived depth of your composition.
- Take breaks between painting sessions to enjoy the city ambience.
- Use the lack of time constraints to experiment with complex compositions.
