So Artful Challenge

For this challenge we were given a black and white sketch-like picture of the lady. Along with the girl in the Roman bath, I used digital techniques to give the pictures more depth and I added a strong sepia colour. For the background I used a modern day coloured photograph of the Roman Baths at Bath in England and put that through a few filters, changing to sepia. I then treated the whole picture to an oil painting process in Corel Painting Essentials. The overall effect (I hope) is a picture of a Roman mother watching her young daughter in the baths.
