I finished off the background and added a few extra shadows today. The arches in the background have become columns, but when I first rendered them they looked very flat and boring so as a solution I added some honeysuckle vines.
My first idea was to have something like a curtain of them hanging down behind the girl but on giving that a try I found that it created too many tangents drawing the eye off the top left corner so I removed most of them just leaving the two.
I’ve learned so many Photoshop tricks during this picture and I can’t wait to get started on another but first I have another commission for a colouring sheet for a local church.
