This painting shows a woman with loose, wavy hair and a serious expression. She’s wearing a simple, slightly rumpled dress with a necklace of small, mismatched beads. The colors are mostly soft browns and grays, with some warm highlights on her skin and clothing. The brushwork is loose and sketchy, almost like it was done quickly. The paper shows through in places, giving it a textured, unfinished look. Next, check out gouache to see how this medium works.
