Work continues on the Brazil backglass artwork.
I have made it to a pretty hammered section so the progress is slow. Part of the interesting work is attempting to duplicate the artists casual style.
For example, this is a section of a scan of my original glass:
What you are seeing is a bit of the pennant on the top of a sailboat mast and the shoreline in the background. Note how the white of the flag at the top does not match the black outline. The "shore" is even worse, with the black lines mostly working as a guideline.
It means that I don't have to be too perfect as the original was not photo-perfect, but I want it to be as faithful to the original as possible.
Below is a side-by-side section of the sailboat. On the right is the original, not much there... on the left (top) is my best guess of what the sailboat looked like originally:
Note how the lines are not perfect. I hope I did a faithful job on it. Below is a GIF showing both compared:
One sailboat down, 2 more to go.....Work continues!
