Pastel Portrait, Maria Kovalenko Leysens


 We had two models today. My model had clothing that reminded me of the new True Grit movie, but I couldn't get into painting the entire image. So I focused on what I know.  The other model had gypsy inspired clothing. I took photos of both of the models and I hope to paint them later this week.

Beautiful, Maria. I especially like the colors you used in the cheeks and lips - very natural.
