Two wings for the castle exterior. Little girl for scale.

The bottom and top of the left hand wing shows that most of the three-dimensional effect is achieved by me painting on the perspective (as usual I have set my eye line/horizon line about 9 inches off the stage floor.)

The two planes are differentiated by cracks and plants "going around" the corners.

Also I hint at the undulating texture of the stonework by the uneven shadows of the plants and flags which "follow" the stonework.

And of course I have painted one side lighter than the other.

The tops of these two wings were hidden by a cloth border
