A CLOSER LOOK

Orange ruffles beneath the trees

A bright orange skirt spreads across the gravel beneath an arch of trees. The embroidered bodice, painted face and flowered headdress give the central figure several distinct landmarks. Around her, the scene becomes much quieter: dark branches merge into the background, and small stones repeat across the path. This 300-piece cut rewards building separate groups around those landmarks before tackling the less distinctive areas. The skirt is a useful colour group, but its folds change from yellow highlights to deep red shadows.

A way to start

Start with the flowers in the headdress and the red-and-yellow embroidery, keeping them in separate groups. Follow the outline where orange fabric meets gravel, then use the direction of each fold to work inward. Sort tree pieces by visible branch lines rather than darkness alone. Leave plain black fragments until the surrounding shapes give them a position. On Hard, rotate a piece before ruling out a match; use the reference to check the angle of the branches.
