Marina what a most beautiful and sensitive composition and colour range. Delicate yet powerful.
Would you like to expand on how your method for those of us still learning?
What a gorgeous model. Well Done!

This is great work....I can't quite comprehend how such an amazing temperature range can be wrung from just these colors, but obviously you can, Marina. The additional red has obviously upped the ante quite a bit.
Whether you can articulate what's going on here or not, it's stunning.

Thank you all !
Julie,
my work is finished, now the viewers have to work to find the meaning(s) of it...
Thomasin,
it's principally from one photo, but I had to change things to make it work better, for exemple I changed the drapery form in some places then we can feel better her body under. I also add some very lost edges beetween the drapery and the background to bring relations between them. And changed some values where I thought the photo was lying....
Ilaria,thanks!
Ngaire,
I'm going to try to find some time later today to explain...
Tom,
yes, there was such delicates pinks that I decide to allow me a third color to be able to show them.

Absolutely stunning -- and a real potential prizewinner, I think. This is such a well exectued and interesting composition that I think it would do very well in the major international competitons.

Marina,
This is absolutely impressive. As in your last charcoal/crayon piece, I am so completely drawn into the illusion, into what you are saying, that I have to keep pulling back to admire the technical skill. The drapery is, I think, stunningly executed and deceptively simple.
Thanks so much for taking the time to post a photo and demo of your materials.
