Process

After finding a similar vase, I reshaped it to better match the painting's.
I used a doorknob model to replace the ornate handle.
To facilitate the search for models, I clustered similar-looking flowers into groups to tackle one at a time, reusing models when necessary.
Going back to my sketch file, I planned out flat colors for each asset to look cohesive and faithful to the original.
I placed flowers one group at a time, added the stone slab, and defined the final camera angle.
Finally, I tweaked the light and texture properties for a more dramatic effect.
