    The artist said that when she began making pictures, it took her a long time, maybe 30 to 60 minutes, to finish one. She explained that she had to carefully pick a picture and then work on it. As she gained more experience, she got faster, taking around 20 minutes on average. Now, after learning more advanced techniques over the years and making her pictures look more real, she's back to spending about 30-40 minutes to make them the way she likes.
