Lila's Gaze - original oil pastel portrait painting
This painting began as a life drawing, but the model couldn't stay, so I took a photo, which isn't nearly as much fun as drawing from life, but you take what you can get when it comes to posing. I did this one on a piece of Mi-Teintes board, which I love, and the drawing started out wild and crazy, with colors here and there, but then got a little more traditional - with more local color. It's such a total pleasure to work - especially with the Senneliers - on Mi-Teintes board. Love the texture! And it comes in such beautiful colors, just like the Mi-Teintes paper. This piece is about 16 x 12". Thanks so much for stopping by! And if you have a minute, please check out my oil pastel blog.
