Artist's Comments



I really should have submitted this sooner, but I kind of had other things on my mind, so it had to wait.

This painting was commissioned by Advanced Photoshop Magazine for a Masterclass Tutorial in issue #46 on painting portraits with focus on fabrics.

I was given a short brief, telling me to paint a female character from head to hip wearing traditional Japanese dress.



Photoshop CS
+ close-ups: one | two
+ lots of photo inspiration for this one, pictures of Tea Ceremonies inspired the pose
+ done in record time...

This is truly amazing... I also can't really write much to describe the awe I feel. Is the pattern painted or texture placed?

Beautiful in a soft way, I like the patterns on the fabric especially the bird on the obi.
