Pastels really came through for me on this one. They provided a nice way to blend colors into the shadows. I’m proud of how the lighting came out also as well as reflections of light on the lower half of the face.
I spent most of my childhood playing in the woods, and in particular there was an area kudzu had fully taken over. For some reason there were tunnels throughout the kudzu which was so magical. Tunnels only someone small could use. The way the sun would shine through the branches of dying bushes and trees and kudzu vine to the leafy floor below made it an ethereal space.
