Description Hot, it's so very hot. While the rest of the world is covered with snow in the spirit of white christmas. Here in Adelaide, it is bathed in a burning 36 degrees heat and sunshine, even the beach is scorching...I yearn for the soft cool breeze of spring.

This painting consist of many of my "first times" :
First time drawing scenery with no reference...i think i took longer drawing the scenery than the girl...
First time I didn't use many layers
First time i made my own custum brushes for texture
First time i mixed colours, and picked much more saturated colours

It was wonderful experience playing around wiith all those colours and brushes! Hope you guys like it!

Pose refrenced use for the girl from a tiny picture in a magazine

That is just beautiful..I like how her dress is slightly transparent, it looks very realistic.

I like how it turned out and it really well done. I'm no painter by any means. The colours scream out life and fun.

This is just fantastic, really captures the summery feeling tecnique wise, it's another improvement over your previous works (as you know)... with the background, the transparency of her dress, the more vibrant colours, the more 'painterly' shading I don't think using less layers is a step up as many people think more layers = more sophistication or something... but I can see and understand how it shows more confidence & experience when you're painting anyways... imo the sunflowers on the bottom left hand of the frame is unnecessary... to me it looks like it was added in as an afterthought...like really forced in if you know what i mean o__0 besides that, its just simple another outstanding piece! +fav

oh and don't feel alone about the weather! i live in southeast texas, and while it's not scorching anymore, i still don't get snow and spring only lasts two weeks before it goes back to 90+ degrees fareinheit

the texture and colors are amazing! i love how the yellow flowers that grow on the grass are also in her hands and hair-- and the butterflies were a lovely touch to be able to digitally paint this wonderful piece without that many layers is a great accomplishment! great job!
