The empress 👑

To stay with the dreamy Beauties of early 2015! I really liked these ethereal faces which seem to have the ability to take me on a journey into space. (Red space in this case) And these are very reasonable priced, medium sized paintings that could fit in any regular house, 1 meter high and 60cm wide (is a meter approx 30"? … I always mix those sizes up). That’s why it puzzles me that these paintings are still in the Austrian Gallery Lendnine in Graz. Perhaps I should make mega-sizes of these, so they REALLY stand out on big walls??? http://ift.tt/2oajSFe

Background Tutorial

requested by ion4ever. sorry it took me so long to do this for you but hopefully I was of some help? 

Notes:

I use CS6, and this was mostly done with default hard round brush at around 50% opacity or higher, 100% flow, and size pressure on. I made some random brushes for the greenery by modifying the default ones.

always use a large canvas. I go about 3000px x 3000px.

with enough practice, painting backgrounds like this will be a fairly quick affair. this one, for example, took about 30 minutes? it’s just a matter of time/experience. :)

So yeah, good luck doing backgrounds, and have fun!! :D
