Regency Ladies with a Curtain View - using images from Ackermann's Repository

I created this fun piece of digital art using a few of the Regency era, 

Ackermann Repository images I've been posting over the past few months.  

"Regency Ladies with a Curtain View" - digital art by EKDuncan 2011

Since a majority of the artwork found in the pages of Ackermann's Repository* are of 

the same style; they work together extremely well to produce any number of digital scenes 

- your imagination is the only limit.  

 *(Ackermann's Repository - a monthly publication from 1809-1828 in England)

Regency Ladies with a View was created in Photoshop using 4 Ackermann Repository images.

A garden scene, a furniture plated depicting curtains, and two fashion plates.

Here are the items that I used

1819 Aviary -  Garden Plate from Ackermann's Repository was used for the background setting.

I digitally removed most of the central window area in Photoshop; 

so I would have an open view to place my setting.

This is the png image I created to frame my garden setting.

(More versions of this swagged curtain can be seen further down on this post)

I used two 1813 Fashion Plate ladies to place in my scene.

I removed the background from the original Fashion Plates so I could have 

png images that could be easily dropped into a digital scene.

More Regency Fashion Plates from 1813 can be seen HERE

Ackermann Repository Fashion Plates from 1809 - 1828 are all posted on this blog.

They can be found in my posts for July, August and September of 2011.

I used an Antique paper mat frame from an old Cabinet Card Photo to frame my scene.

I did a little bit of digital alteration using Photoshop to get this final look.

I'm currently altering a nice selection of "Curtain" images from Ackermann's; and posting 

them on my EveyD.deviantART.com account so others can play with them too.

One of the many things I love about Photoshop is that it allows you to alter and 

change an image; till you have it in the shape, color and size you need.

Till the next time...
