About this work

This is a quick, sketchy portrait of a woman drawn in soft browns and greens. Her face is simple, with a calm expression and a bit of a frown. She wears a high-necked dress with a dark collar and a small brooch at her throat. The background is plain, letting her stand out. The lines are loose, almost like a quick sketch. The colors are muted, giving it a warm, earthy feel. It looks like it was done fast, with just enough detail to show who she is. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro for more on how light and shadow create depth.
