Garden WIP- Which one?

[TessaW]

Hello! Can you guys help me decide which version to go with? A or B? The main thing is with or without the door. Thanks!

@TessaW is the garden on our side or on the side of the girl? I think I read it better on A.

[TessaW]

@MichaelaH Thank you. The garden is on our side.

@TessaW I like A better.

@TessaW i love A. The warth of the bricks help draw my eyes to the girl as opposed to the dark green gate. It also makes the piece feel more open. I love this piece. It just looks so beautiful.

I think A reads better

[TwiggyT]

I like A better because I feel like the flowers add good energy and interest that the gate doesn't. Just be sure the big flower next to the bee doesn't detract from the bee himself.

Oh, I just saw the little one peeping over the wall..that is too cute.

[TessaW]

Thanks you guys! I tend to get lost in endless variations, so you are helping me keep on track. I'm glad there was a clear choice between the 2.

[Sofie Schollaert]

I like A as well... maybe you could 'age' the wall a bit? But that is just a thought. Love the feel of this piece, it's very... happy and natural!

I like A better too

@TessaW I see what everyone is saying about the openness of A, but I like the feel of B gate not having the gate edges lead the eye out of the picture--could you have the edges of the brick wall more covered by the flowers/foliage?

[TessaW]

@Sofie-Schollaert Yes, that's a really good idea. This is just a super rough sketch, and I will definitely need to ponder about more of the secondary details. Thanks!

[TessaW]

@BichonBistro Good catch. I'll keep this in mind while I develop the foliage!

[MOO]

I choose A also

[TessaW]

I think I'm almost done with the linework. It's taking forever. Going to put it away for a few days before making further tweaks.

[Chip Valecek]

@TessaW WOW thats impressive. I can't wait to see how you paint it.

[Kat]

Wow that looks great! Makes me want to color

[MichaelaH]

@TessaW Hi hi I missed the child in the rough sketches

[TessaW]

Color flats.

[TessaW]

Done maybe?
