Garden photostudy

Hi! It's a photostudy I did some time ago.
I felt like I was doing a background for Ghibli, hah

If you follow me you know that I usually avoid background. I can't say why tho, I just.. don't do them. But lately I had a few illustration ideas with a complex background. So as a begging of new art challenges (bc I will struggle as heck, believe me) I decided to do an environment photostudy. Just to practice and have a little bit fun with it.

What is interesting is the fact that I actually enjoyed it! It was really relaxing and fun to do. I was listening to #Ghibli soundtrack and felt like I was doing background for their new animation. I also wondered about drawing a Ghibli's character The Baron. Finally I decided not to.

It's photostudy of Mandy Hart's photo.

Brushes are by Devinelle Kurtz - I was super inspired by them and her grass painting tutorial on YouTube. Totally recommend!
