A Lovely Wedding Group

Hi all... need any help available out there for color etc on this group... have to finish it before Monday as I'm having eye surgery and I don't think I'll be able to do it with just one eye working.. :cool:

I reduced the reds and some yellow and toned down the whites and blacks - too much?? Also tried Jo Anns trick of multiply and then brushing in with grey on some of the really high skin tones..

Hi Lynn. The color looks good to me and wouldn't change a thing on the skin tones.
Wishing you an easy procedure and a speedy recovery. Shadow said let him know if you want him to assist! ::)

:funny: thanks! Tell him I'd LOVE him to assist..that sweet face would be very calming ♥️

Lynnya · February 17, 2019, 02:17:27 PM

This is where I'm at.. hoping I'm close? do I need to reduce the whites a bit?

Hannie · February 17, 2019, 02:28:37 PM

Lynn, the shadows and creases from the original are still visible in your WIP so I think your whites are fine.

Lynnya · February 17, 2019, 03:51:27 PM

Thanks Hannie..

Lynn, looks beautiful, no need to change a thing. Good luck on your eye surgery. :hug:

Jo Ann Snover · February 19, 2019, 04:21:13 PM

I'm back after being away visiting relatives - your surgery must be done now, so very best wishes for a swift recovery

Lynnya · February 20, 2019, 09:27:31 AM

Thanks Margie and Jo Ann... surgery is amazing!!! who knew what a bright beautiful crisp world it was out there.. I'm afraid to look at my old restores for fear of what I'll see :funny:
One eye done, other one in couple of weeks.. I can HIGHLY recommend cataract surgery.. no discomfort, easy peasy..

Hannie · February 20, 2019, 12:52:43 PM

Good to hear all went well Lynn and that you are happy with the result! :loveit:

Jo Ann Snover · February 20, 2019, 01:27:52 PM

I didn't expect to see "easy peasy" and surgery in the same sentence!! So glad things went smoothly.

At some point, for a chuckle, find an old original, restore it and then compare to the old restore to see what you think. My bet would be that there wouldn't be a huge difference because you learned to compensate for the problems with your eyes (the brain being amazing like that). Or . . . :)
