Lou as Cleopatra - original oil pastel portrait

It's great when models dress up in historical garb and sometimes they even take on the personality of their character.  Lou is this kind of model - she was very regal while she sat for us.  Well, Cleopatra, after all.  I used mostly Sennelier oil pastels, with a few Caran d'Ache on Colourfix 12 x 9" smooth pastel paper in Fresh Grey.  Thanks for stopping by!

She's beautiful, Connie! I love when the model dresses up as well. On Fridays we have a live model..we never know what they're going to wear which makes it more interesting... a few weeks back we had Roosevelt...lol and he really looked like him!!
