Dream your summer!
Using Anna Aspnes Palette Cherish.
http://www.oscraps.com/shop/product.php?productid=10008638&page=1
The artplay palette from Anna is very inspiring with colors and with contrasting elements.
I have used one of the background papers of the AP and I have turned it around 90 degrees to get it aligned with my composition.
I also used brushes, with them I made colored impressions with different colors that suited well my color palette.
There are two distinctive images as focal point combined together to create the one scene.
I have used the two main focal images on the left of the composition and treated them with watercolor techniques and watercolor brushes individually,
I changed during the process the opacity, scale and direction of the brush,
always using the same brush with large surface and well defined edges.
You can see the full tutorial in Anna's blog.
