Hello hivers, an happy Saturday to you all! Today the Sun is shining on the sky and I'm happy for the good weather, because later in the afternoon I have to go to the opening of a solo exhibition by one of my friends! ❤️
Yesterday, while I was cleaning a corner of my lab room, I found an old small frame I stored there years ago and I thought it could be perfect for one of my usual woman portraits in my own illustration style.
This morning, as usual, I woke up soon to work on something that could be nice in that frame and, in the following pics, you can see the final result of the piece:
At first, I gave a touch of gold color to the wooden frame and, when it was ready, I painted one of my usual women with dark red hair and a tiny house (in gold color) on her head.
I used some touches of gold colors also on the dress, to reminds to the color of the frame, but to be honest I think I used too much gold colors, so far from my usual palette. 😊
It's a mixed media (acrylic colors, oil colors and white ink) painting on around 300 gsm paper on a frame and, as usual, I took some pics while I was painted this artwork so you can see the process too:
I hope you like it!
See ya soon and stay safe,
Silvia

NB Thank you for the reblog....very kind of you. ^__^
Did you notice the embroidery....(My grandmother's needle work on a linen table covering).
I love the embroidery works. When I was a little girl my grandmother and my mum teached me to embroider, but I'm not so good ad they were. I have some of my mother's needle works at home and they are fantastic, especially a cotton cover she embroidered with beautiful flowers. ❤️
I love it! What an interesting concept!
Thanks so much, @erikah ! ❤️
The woman is very beautiful, she must be a very homely person.
Beautiful portrait
