She then provided us with acetate overlays (sheet of clear plastic laid over a background) which depicted different seasons for the same farm scene. Each overlay would have its own painted details which we would then use to lay on top of the base painting in order to change the seasons. In the slideshow below, you can look through Dawnee&#8217;s interpretation of the four seasons. Look at the differences in the details between each version from tire swings in the summer version to a scarecrow in the fall version. We think Dawnee came up with an amazingly creative way to show off different seasons all while using the same painting as the base!<\/p>\n<p><center>[m-vslider id=&#8221;2&#8243;]<\/center>Below is the summer overlay which Dawnee provided. As you can see, the empty areas allow for the details from the original painting such as the mountains and forest to show through while also being overlaid with the new additions such as the tire swing and roof.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4929\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4929\" style=\"width: 505px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/summer-acetate.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4929\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/summer-acetate.png\" alt=\"Acetate Overlay Depicting summer season.\" width=\"505\" height=\"402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/summer-acetate.png 505w, https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/summer-acetate-300x238.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 505px) 100vw, 505px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4929\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Acetate Overlay depicting Summer season.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We hope you enjoyed this behind the scenes look into just how creative Dawnee&#8217;s winning entry really was.
