Although it's warm and sunny outside, I decided to paint a picture that plays in winter. I always look forward to the opposite season. In summer I want winter and snow, in winter I wait for warm days of spring and so on. That's sort of why the girl is dressed in warm clothes.

Back to the topic. This is a portrait of my beautiful girlfriend based on a photo. I used photoshop with an Intous3 A5. Took me about a week of work. Guess that's not very fast, but I'm new to painting portraits. It is quite different from texturing and modelling.

I enjoyed painting the image and I hope you enjoy watching it.
