I loved studying graphic design in college but I was free lance and customers was never satisfied... Now I'm back to College to study Art history and museum.

thank you !
About my photograph, you can centre it differently and you're not obliged to do the pieces of things around my face (dvd, hat...) You can invent the rest, I trust you.
I think I'll paint you on a canvas about 40 x 50 cm (poor little unemployed girl who can't buy big canvas...lol)

Actually I can't tell you exactly the number of hours but I paint every day 5 or 6 hours and I paint several canvas at the same time.
Especially for this one I spent many times to make the background.
For me, the figures are more simple but the background define the atmosphere and it's more difficult for me to create it.
On this canvas there is 3 different paintings, but at each time I wasn't convinced so I put a coat of white paint or gesso.
Thank you for adding Baptiste in your favorites

Wow, no wonder your so great (:
I can't make myself sit any longer than 4 hours most times when I paint unless I have a deadline, heh. And I certainly don't paint everyday.
But I will once I'm out of school.
Your an inspiration for that.

I would like to paint with oil but it's too expensive for me for the moment.
