Usually I'll take a photo I like ,and work with it for awhile untill I figure out how I want it to look. Sometimes , however ,I'll see one and just know instantly .I guess some photo' s just have a spark of magic that way !
This photo came from a series of shots I took of my girls with the intention of attempting some more mystical mermaid creations(which I still haven't done) . Kaylee , the oldest said " it looks like child porn mom !". When my husband saw it , he just about freaked . C'mon seriously ? She IS wearing a bathing suit after all. So the very FIRST thing I had to do is Paint on a dress !
I painted some make-up , and some hair extensions (most fairies have long hair).The wings came from a photo of a butterfly , which I colorized a bit. and of course ALL fairies have magic Fairy dust all around them ! I love painting the sparly stuff ! Then I painted the foilage and extra vines onto this forest photo and gave it some softness for blending too.Also , all forest scenes should have mushrooms , so I placed an shaded a few.Then finally added the butterfly with simmilar wings to finish the scene.
I entitled this one "Cousins"
