Description
I worked on this piece for quite a while. I hope it brings Ida some joy when she returns to us again. It is a complete repaint, no smudging the photo. The only exception is the model. I repainted the flowers, ladybug, snail etc. Anything I didnβt credit below came straight from my brain. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.

Iβm just starting to get the hang of painting with the smudge tool, let alone airbrushing.

It depends on what I want it to look like. I picked my own colors for the mushroom and snail but the flower colors were already so pretty I used the ones that were there. Now as far as tips I block in the entire shape first with the brush tool in one color on a seperate layer. Usually a dark color so I can go back with the burn and dodge tool. I use those alot. And I do change the opacity so I can see where to burn and dodge. Now hair was the first thing I learned how to do. I use the smudge tool first on about 85 strength with a really small size brush. The trick I have found to painting is go back with a small brush in white and draw individual strands and only smudge them lightly so the texture is still there. I will do a tutorial....eventually but for now I hope this helps.

Thanks a lot for the tips, Kristin, they're very much appreciated. I tried painting hair but it looks more like spaghetti strands; I'm stubborn though so I'll keep on practicing, and advice like yours is what helps me get it right eventually !

You just need to go back over your "spaghetti strands" with a softer brush now. I learned by trial and error, you'll get it
