Day to night

I did this painting as a personal challenge to turn a day time scene into one at night. The original plate was cropped tight into the church with the left side outside the frame area, the shot was taken in mid day sunlight with blue sky and hard shadows. I had to remove the lighting and shadows, extend the building to the left and then build up the street and city surrounding. Most of the image was photo comped with a little paint over and lots of color gading/correction. The lamps were the only 3d elements in this painting.
