Merging two photos into Composition

Merging different photos into a composition sometimes isn't easy.

In this case it is just 2 photos, which is probably the easiest scenario. All you have to do is decide what you are losing and what you are keeping in the merge.

I want to use this as the main composition.

I want to use the left side mostly and add the extra flower into the new composition.

The initial drawing is really important to get everything exactly where I want it or need it to be.

Sometimes I will just draw large circles where the blooms should go and work the greenery around it. This is not the case here, it fit quite nicely as I went along.

Once the drawing was done, I filled in the background with just a matte black.

After that, this is where the fun starts.

Audiobooks and Art

I know many artists like to listen to music while they paint but I like to listen to audiobooks. I borrow from the library and its usually great but today I was three quarters through when it expired on me (my fault). When I went back in to borrow it, I had to place a hold. So I'll have to wait a week to find out what happened. Blue Hydrangea 096 oil on canvas board 8" by 8" Click to Buy Whenever I look at a painting I can always remember what book I was listening to. In some ways I self title them that way. This one will always be split into two but I got it finished anyway. Not to advertise but I realize if I don't say it's a cliff hanger - Sara Gruen - At the Water's Edge (interrupted- don't tell me how it ends) Sara Gruen - Water For Elephants
