STARTING THE LEFT SIDE OF THE MAILBOX

This time, I was able to do the chalk transfer on the left side of the mailbox.

After tracing the image onto the mailbox, I rubbed some elements off and replaced them with different sizes and in different places.
Here you can see after the colors blocked in and some of the details added. The painting is very similar to the right side.

One small change I made was to place the vertical carrot behind the other vegetables, instead of in front (as it is on the right side of the mailbox).
After more layers and details have been added, more layers must still to be applied to create depth and form.
View shows the entire left side completed.
