Arianne
I finished this one a few weeks ago - it's a present for Arianne's grandfather.... I'm not very happy with this one, it was a pretty tedious affair finishing it. I really didn't like the paper surface, it was too smooth - not enough tooth, etc.
I've known Arianne since she was about 12. She's a stunningly beautiful young lady now at 20 years of age. I did a charcoal drawing of her when she was 15 - I'm not sure if I ever posted it here - if I can find it, I'll post it in this thread. I'm,now doing a painting of her, a 3/4 figurative work - kind of ambitious for me as I have never done a figurative painting before - and I'm anxious to see how it turns out.
Anyway...Charcoal on thinted paper w/ white highlights; approx 16" X 20"
