-
I traced her on the canvas using the 'girl with flowers' pattern, and began to base in the background.
-
It's another night time theme shot, so I put on a mixture of payne's grey and french blue.
-
Her dress was brushed in white with streaks of dark blue.
-
Facial outlines were done in amber and her hair was done in burnt umber with a light brown/yellow mixture to add directionof the hair.
-
The lake was a combination of blue and white then brushed together to make it look mushy.
-
Sierra brown was added to add the streaks of red to the lake and near her body for shadows.
