Digitally Painted Ballerina

I captured Krissy in her new ballerina dress shortly after watching her dance recital.  The image was captured at her home with a background that was useful, so I have used Photoshop to build a composite image using a background from Jim Cunningham's website: Imagescapemaker.   I used Photoshop to match the color tone of the two images.  Finally, I used Corel Painter to digitally paint the background and the ballerina.  The digital painting will show up best in a 30" or larger print. I have included some close ups below that reveal the paint strokes better.
