Finally finished painting, correcting the colors, lightening the background, adding dimension and highlight. Now it's time to add *stuff*!
I approach this stage as if it were a collage, auditioning elements for the possible roles they might play in the piece. This is the fun part for me. The painting is the zen-like soothing part. Oh, and one further note: If you want to, you can click on "Take It Further 2008" on my left sidebar for the photo album of my TIF work and see everything all together without the posts, or you can go to my right sidebar, find "categories" and click on "Take It Further" there, which will give you all my TIF posts in one neat place.
With that said, here I go. Off to embellish!
This is really quite lovely, I look forward to how you choose to embellish it. I am admiring your technique of painting on fabric, and may attempt it for one of the later challenges.
Hope that you found my blog all right, by the way!
