Artist's Comments

I'm so very pleased to do this portrait of Lara Jade aka `larafairie We spoke about doing a portrait several months ago and now here it is! Finally finished!

Obviously it is dedicated to :iconlarafairie: :hug:

This actually may need to be moved to "mixed media" because it has:

Light Watercolor Underpainting
Rembrandt Color Pastel (the majority of the portrait)
Prisma Color Pencils for fine Detail and "clean up work"

I've been having issue with my scanner, so I am aware that there is a bit of a dark "smudge" running vertically down her hair, but I tried to mask it some in Photoshop till I can get another scan that doesn't reflect what I am assuming is a bad bulb or the need for a recallibration.

I hope you enjoy it! It was a pleasure to do and I hope that Lara will allow me to paint/draw her again. One of my first friends on DA, and a great person!

Amazing portrait! I've tried traditional media many times with quite bad good results, and given I'm not even close to doing great portraits digitally, I must say this one is awesome!! Excellent work, Angelles :thumbsup:

Looks absolutely gorgeous. I didnt do any traditional portrait in a long time and beauty of this is really pushing me to do one these days.
I love how you painted the flower and her face.

I'm loving those tones, and that eyeshadow around [the eye, duh] is such a lovely color.

An amazing portrait :nod:.
