About this work

This is a close-up portrait of a young girl with light hair tied back. She’s wearing a dark collar with a lighter shirt underneath, and her face is turned slightly to the side. The brushstrokes are loose, especially on her hair and clothes, giving it a rough, textured look. The painting focuses on her face and upper shoulders, leaving the rest of her body and background simple. The colors are muted, with soft pinks on her cheeks and a warm brown background. If you like this style, check out impasto next.
