"This didn't even take that long," said Kayneth, adding a few last finishing touches. Of course, it also needed to dry just a tiny bit...

But in any case, shortly after, he turns the easel around with a bit of a smirk. It is very skilled; it's painted in a rough style that betrays the fact that it was done in a short amount of time, but if anything, it gives the paining a pleasant hazy quality that makes it look vaguely Impressionist.

Saionji's figure is by far the most detailed aspect of the painting, and the realistic style that captures her pose quite well, even though she'd been antsy throughout. Combined with the hazy background, it makes it it look like a photograph with the subject in closer focus than everything else. There's another contrast between her and the background --- the background is subtly more muted than Saionji's figure, which is painted with brighter, more vibrant colors.

"Well?"
