About this piece
I have almost forgotten how this can be wonderful. Make art just for fun. My art has been helping me to deal with lots of difficulty situation in my life, but I guess there also is a time for fun and relax. And that’s why I have started this piece at first place: for fun and to try to improve my techniques somehow.
I love rain, I know I have made rainy piece before but I was not complete satisfied with them, so I though it was time to give another shot. In the other hand, I never worked with a male model before, and I think it’s very important to try new things, to step out of your comfort zone.
I am also staring to paint more, over the entire scene, and it took a huge amount of time. But that’s what I like to to, I love working on details, I believe it makes all the difference in a piece.
I hope you guys like it too. Thank you so much for the lovely support.
