CRAFTING THE INCOMPLETE MASTERPIECE

STYLE AND COLORS
We studied Renoir's work to simulate his techniques: small and irregular brush strokes, use of different color tones, and had to find a way to reproduce oil painting digitally as well.

IMPERFECTIONS
The original painting has a cracked texture because of the dry oil. To achieve the best results, we even simulated  the masterpiece imperfections. 

HANDS
The most challenging part was to rebuild the hand of the remaining girl. Only after analyzing other hands Renoir painted through the years we were able to create a brand new one.
