This beautiful girl is one of my dear friends. She is an old roommate and I have always thought she had the most beautiful features and complexion! She reminds me of snow white. This was a light study where the light was coming from below (which is very uncommon because usually we have the light above us). Anyway, I liked this picture that I had so I wanted to use it as my weekly head study. I have never seen eyes like hers!
Anna I love this painting - I love the deep contrast of her features against her milky skin tone - the picture almost looks wet still: it feels so saturated with color even though the majority of the piece is in black and neutral tones.
