Peace Plant (transferred & blended with original)

I used a piece of Strathmore Imperial 140 lb Hot Press paper. This is a fairly textured paper and I got a lot of lift-off in the darker areas of the image. I again used Sheer Heaven and alcohol for the transfer process. I used Conte Pastel pencils to add yellow, orange and green to flowers and stems. I then blended the scanned transfer with the original image using a mask to get rid of some of the lift-off effect. I used MULTIPLY mode at 75% to bring back in a blend of the original and the transfer. Here is a link to the original image http://www.pbase.com/halesr/image/90580180. Link opens in a new window.
