Brilliant work - the contrast between Frankie's black coat and the dress is stunning.
Getting back on track to finish by the end of this month. Really.
After priming the sofa I saw what an awful job of seam cleaning I did. So more filler and sanding.
Primed again and looking a lot better.
Backdrop in progress. I've been trying to add depth to the textures and also changed the stone wall tones - especially the mortar. I saw this kit built up online (in color) and the builder had the mortar darker than the stones. I liked that better than what I was doing. I still don't know what shade to make the platform the sofa rests on.
Lightened the Bride's arms. I think this is a better match to the original and won't be such a contrast with her dress.
Speaking of the dress - I didn't like the way it looked so I sprayed more white and will address the shading later.
I also didn't like the Bride's head so have started re-painting it. Frank Jr's arms look pretty good though! Those will be going on once I finish dusting up his suit a bit.
