Watercolour kitchen interior

As you can see from the main wall image at the bottom, separating the cupboard was an afterthought - which explains the blob of cupboard still present in the middle of the wall (rescued from clone stamping)!

Watercolour Backgrounds

Remember that old way of painting pictures? Ya know, with all the bristles and water and stuff. For the last couple of weeks I've enjoyed taking up most of the space in the kitchen with some A2 background art:

This last picture doesn't require any detail in the bottom right hand corner as it will be out of view. I considered painting the Sunflower from Plants vs Zombies there for lols, but I never got round to it. 

And, if you're interested in this sort of thing, here are the layered images on transparent backgrounds ready for compositing. The two little grassy bits are simply for the animated characters' feet to appear behind. 

 And here's the wide angle shot split into 3 depth layers:

 

Notice how the top edge of the middle image is mostly fading out - this is to help smooth the join between the layers, which is more obvious when the join can't follow the defined edge of an object (such as the tree).

Backgrounds.

Thought i'd just whack some backgrounds up here for you to see as a little taster!

The first one is just a rough sketch of colour that I am working on in the background to get the light and dark figured out. I'm actually loving the colours of this one and its a biggggg background so I have lots of lovely details to work on which will be fun!

The rest are part of a collection of quick scenes that I wanted to just have some fun with, and make easily readable as they are only on screen for a matter of seconds. Enjoy!
