I treated this image with watercolor techniques.
You can see details of my basic watercolor technique in the first part of the composite series in Anna's blog.

Then I treated the water reflections with a light ripple effects,
the original image from where I started this composition was totally flat and I thought needed some water movement.
You can see my tutorial in reflections ripple effects Part 3 of the series artsy composites in Anna's blog.

The original image was extremely narrow so in order to achieve a wider effect and be able to get a better coverage of the painting in a better proportion to my 12 by 12 inches frame I stretched the image with a Ctr+ T keystroke,
I used Anna's brushes creating perspective lines on the left, following the building lines of the focal image.
I also added a number of transfers from the artplay palette among the watercolor layers to add colors and shadows in the water and buildings.
I added also a word art and I applied to the text a style that was similar in colors to my overall composition.
I also considered for the colors used in the brush work of the watercolor technique,
that the light was coming from the upper right corner, so I tried to create an effect from light to dark in diagonal across the LO from right->left simulating a light->dark.
I framed the composition with a final overlay frame that is mainly seen in the right upper corner.
Ann, you don't scrap, you create paintings and use the brushes as an artist does. This is really and truly beautiful. You have been blessed with an amazing gift.
 
It is like taking a trip into an other world that is much like our own but shifted into a softer, less defined space. Love it!!
 
This is just beautiful! I love all your layouts, they're so artistic and creative!
