And what an interesting concept, to make a collage and then paint from it... it could be a fun experiment - even keeping the lighting as it is in the photos, from different angles... maybe :) Anyway, well done!

What an interesting idea about using photos, I wouldn't have thought of that, and that is something I would do, not noticing the lighting. Glad you were able to work it out. I don't know why but this has an asian flare to me. It is lovely, would make great notecards.Carrie Waller Watercolorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10950677994996699686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5895120824495181150.post-57728329651328894022010-11-14T14:57:59.712-08:002010-11-14T14:57:59.712-08:00Very beautiful -Very beautiful -Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10940907623630979520noreply@blogger.com
