I got a very helpful critique to pull the figures apart and put them in a room to build drama and create more narrative. The rectangle behind Cinderella will be a portrait of Cinderella’s father who is out-of-town. Apparently, people scrubbed floors with straw. I’m not sure if I will use that? But I’m thinking about all the elements in the room. The bucket is made of wood, just like the floor.
