step 13 of 16

A gradient layer in yellow/lavendar has been added. This I will change as I am working, trying to decide what I like best. Carrots and turnips from source are added now, and a pumpkin and gourd from another source are added toward background. These will all be dodged and burned to create highlights and shadows. Light source is from the left.

step 14 of 16

Many of the twigs and some flowers are added here at top of cornucopia. All these are swinging toward the left as they curve out of the cornucopia.

step 15 of 16

Carrot flowers have been added, and using the hard, round brush tool, berries are added in varying sizes are colors. All these will have to be highligted with dodge tool, then shadowed with the burn tool. Greens which were extracted from carrots source are added throughout the arrangement.

Creation of Give Thanks : Step 15

step 16 of 16

A background layer above the stained glass was made my liquify warping the source in wavy lines. Then over that layer, a gradient of lavendar was used and both were lowered in opacity to allow the stained glass design to barely show through. I wanted the stained glass to better tie the image into the Thanksgiving theme.
