Finally
fixed the composition, adding a tree
on the left that is quite high saved
my day. I also merged the two stones,
and added a third. I removed the beach
in the foreground. They bright colors
of the water and beach destroyed the
mood. Much better this way.
•
I darkened the middle forest a lot,
making better depth. Added more details
everywhere.
Step
17 - Details
In
the previous step I darkened the forest
so now I added single strands of leaves
and bushes that are in a brighter value.
Added more splash and details to the
waterfall.
• I added reflections to the water.
I copied the painting above the water
into a new layer. This layer I resized
and twisted using the shortcut "CTRL+T".
I then mirror the layer and changing
the opacity so that the water still
is visible.
Next step was to erase the reflection
on all places where there shouldn't
be any reflection.
Step
18 - Details
More
details, this time focusing on the
foreground tree. Adding leaves and grass.
Step
19 - Almost done...
Almost
final. After this step I go trough
the painting adding FX details, such
as sunrays, glowing fairies. Darkening
parts. Adding some flowers that stand
out in color and much more.
Then
when finished I add a signature, save
the original and smaller versions
for internet use.
