"Mask" By Donna Holdsworth ~Portage~

This is a portrait of my youngest daughter in her Halloween mask.  Done in graphite and charcoal.  These are newer mediums for me, so I was happy with the result. I hope to do something similar in acrylic soon, but I know from past experience this will be a challenge for me!  Link:  Donna Holdsworth Contemporary Art.  Thank you!

To be able to capture our own children in a work of art is such a treat. This is lovely.

Very nice concept! Charcoal is difficult for me. I've tried it but it just doesn't like me for some reason. If I really need a black some where I might use it but it's just too difficult for me. I really do like this and I like the mask. Nice overall design too.. ever so slight angle in her head the way you have it makes it more interesting. Looking forward to see more like this!

Thank you. I wasn't crazy about using the charcoal either!
