Hi!

Here is Francesca, a lovely, chatty girl from Parma (Italy), one of our neighbours in the camp at Pisa(a very lovely city!)

Underpainting made with Terra Erculano (like B.Sienna with a touch orange)like a Sinopia.
and Tit.White. Dimensions: 40 x 30 cm, linen on wood.

For me a very difficult part: smile, teeth. I'm still fighting with the likeness. Shirt will be changed to a monochrome, silky fabric for practice (maybe red or so).

I plan a dark background and another skintone as on the not really good reference photo. Recently saw a warm skin version, made by Tim Tylor, that
