Victoria trying to persuade Neve to wear the sunglasses she had bought her...lasted two minutes before a resolute "OFF"
I started with an artsy paper from the AP, layered the background photograph on top selecting Hard Light blending mode and erasing any parts I didn't want with a largish soft brush. The main figure I revealed using inverted masking technique then experimented with different blending modes applied to transfers and overlays layered behind until I got the balance of composition I liked. Two multi media suns are layered together with the warm fotoglow injecting a little pop of orangey warmth which compliments the teal ribbon and clothes Neve is wearing. Lastly I added a butterfly element, word art and journalling.
