Through the hedge

Having posted an editing tip on using masks, I thought you might like to see this picture. It is made with the same method. The Hurricane was made into a mask and I painted white everywhere I wanted it to show through the tree and grass, the Pilot and bike were added in the same way. Took many many hours and was worked on over a few months. But I think it shows just how useful this method.

The idea for this is based on the thought that during the war, young lads who lived near Airfields would have cycled up and tried to get a view through the Hedge. So I placed his bike by the tree and tried to create a view through the grass and trees.

I've added the pieces it was made up from as well. As always it looks better at it's full size and reducing for posting has lost a little of the detail.
