  2. Thanks a lot Kathy! I'm not so familiar with the darkness and chunkiness of charcoal, and keeping the soft light touches was challenging, I'm glad it came through :) The painting by Repin captures the life of this girl in such an amazing way, almost like she would turn and say something to you!

  3. I usually try to capture a look or mood in my portraits. This one does just that. Perfect.
