Several sections of the image are chosen to be chopped and placed on a new canvas. These will be used to make container for arrangement as well as all the flowers and leaves.

step 5 of 15

The larger shape is duplicated, flipped, then merged to create the cylinder which will be the container for the flower arrangement. One of the screw-like shapes is duplicated many times and then placed on the cylinder. Cloning tool will be used to make the surface more even. Color selection tools give it a blue-gray finish after merging all parts.

From a section of the wooden table, leaves are shaped with liquify warp tool. From another section of wall, some shapes are formed with warp and bloat tools to be used as parts of flowers.

Creation of Unnamed: Step 10

step 11 of 15

Petal shapes are overlapped after duplicating to get a flower shape.

Creation of Unnamed: Step 11

step 12 of 15

Flowers have been added along with the leaves. Then section from wall of source is chopped and duplicated to form window-like shapes in background.

Creation of Unnamed: Step 12

step 13 of 15

The window shapes have been placed behind the gradient background layer to just give idea of windows without detracting from the flower arrangement. Dodge and burn tools are used finally to add any highlights and shadows where needed.
