This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The First Kiss designed from a painting by William Adolphe Bouguereau shows, according to Greek mythology, Psyche and Eros as children sharing their first kiss together in the clouds. The light blue background and highlights in the background really look realistic and help to bring out the beauty of the two sharing their first kiss. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use an abundance of solid colors as it produces a more realistic effect.
