This 3D rendition was inspired by the relatively famous painting by Petrus Christus called "A Young Lady with a Black Cap" circa 1460s/1470s.

Total project time was about 20 hours stretched over several days in between other 2D/3D projects.

With exception of some slight gamma adjustments and outer edge darkening, the painterly look of the render was achieved in Blender, but not primarily though the render nodes.

A virtual glass plane with some procedural voroni/fractal cloud patterns was placed between the camera and the scene to help achieve the look seen here.

This work is part of my lifelong studies of art in all styles. Those of you familiar with my work may remember me doing something comparable a while back as a 3D rendition of Vermeer's "Girl with a Pearl Earring."

It is a very big challenge to attempt to approximate any kind of 2D mastery in 3D, and, as was true before, it was a very educational and intriguing project for me.

Thank you very much for viewing my work,
