Demo 2 - Creating an environment and
exploring the details
In the following sections, we will explore the details of the painting of a flutist. In this
second illustration, an image is placed within a fully-realized environment. One of the
challenges of painting this image is the different types of textures and details involved
in making a convincing image. Painting a gnarled tree, foliage, chain links, as well as
the figure, are some of the different challenges in this composition. Yet all the different
textures, as you will see, will be painted using a similar approach.
In the following screenshot, we see the block in stage where the concern is about the
placement of different elements in the composition. Only a general indication of these
is necessary. Four different layers are used to place the elements of the composition
onto the canvas. The objects in these layers can be moved and resized until one is
satisfied with the overall composition.
