Artist's Comments

acrylic on canvas.
approximately 3 hours.

photo-reference:
Nastya, Moscow by ~vuda.

NOTE: the background is actually a orange/vermillion colour but because of the lack of light the photographed painting came out a bit darker.

Wow, I really like this. She looks like a young person who has lived through a lot, her expression is old, I think that's what I mean.

I looked through your gallery and your portraits are really good, this is the best so far though :D
:iconleezil:
:P

thank you!
i appreciate your comment and favourite!
yes... she does have a certain "old" feel to her.
she looks wise.

It's great to see some new work from you, I like how you gave this a personal touch with the background colour rather than including the whole photograph, it gives it a bit of a different tone than the original, I like it.
How have you been lately? Hope you're doing alright.

thank you!
yes, i felt a contrast with the sombre subject might make for an interesting portrait.

i've been okay lately... everything is hectic - studies, soon to be baby and the lot.
we're looking for a new apartment currently so that's putting extra strain on things too.

ha, anyway, how've you been?

You're welcome.

I hope things go smoothly for you.
Also looking into getting a new flat so I know how you feel though hopefully the strain is balanced out with excitement.

Take care, both of you. :)

mmm crazyness-of-doom. dis rerig scary op 'n scary way.... nice. ek hou rerig van die kleure wat jy gekies het vir die vel toon en dit lyk amper asof die figuur deur 'n stuk glas vertoon word as mens proporsioneel daarna kyk, gewoonlik iriteer dit my maar vanaand maak dit die hele skildery. ek glo die vel kleur verskil van dit wat ek op my skerm sien.

feel free to comment on all my work, the views and feelings of others are of great help in the process of growing, both as an artist and as an individual.
