Started off with using up some very dilute dairylide yellow paint I had leftover for the background. Started using up some other leftover paint, got a fairly uniform vertical background, so I started added some spider branch effects with some other colors, keeping in mind the tones for depth.
A new thing in this one is the ground pumice stone I used on the path. I couldn't find a way to get a photo of this picture without glare from the surrounding ambient light, so the colors are off just slightly - the shadow part of that path there doesn't glow quite so much in reality. And the texture really is noticible, even from a distance. Great for the sort of drybrush effects I have on there.
Yeah, I'm surprised how well it turned out actually, I was pretty frustrated throughout most of it until near the end, when it just started to 'work' for me. I'll be doing an improved version of this in the future, I'd love to hear what you think of than once it's finished.
