Pattern layer made from source spring photo. Filter with wave filter at amplitude of 35 and 540. this pattern layer will be added just before final gold filter at end.

Using main source photo as reference, cherry blossoms are drawn here with brush tool.
step 6 of 11
Blossoms are now shaded with burn tool.
step 7 of 11
Details have been brushed into blossoms and leaves are created with brush tools, also. Veins are drawn in with the dodge tool at a very fine setting.
step 8 of 11
Blossoms are duplicated many times, some are sized to smaller sizes and used along upper bamboo sections. Some smaller ones are also added toward sides at bottom of arrangement. Dodge and burn tools will add shadows and highlights.
step 9 of 11
Here the heighth of the canvas was enlarged to open up the space for the window with spring scene. Both are scaled taller to fill in the space.
