Last week I met a journalist of www.arabitalia.com and she asked for a portrait of a little cute pony that is able to stay "in candle" for long time. The pony is named Pioggia that here in Italy means rain, so I tried to descirbe her in the strange kind of light we got when the sun's rays pass through clouds. I also tried to respect the subject with her big belly (she is waiting for a colt) and the soft jaw.

Tech details :
I completely painted her under Corel Painter IX using first charcoals to obtain rough surfaces and a pleasant color mix, and then defining the whole scene with oils (detail oil with a high percentage of the bleed variable). The grass took a thing like 8 layers, with a strong usage of bluring filter on the foreground leaves
