About this work

This is a close-up portrait of a woman with dark, wavy hair framing her face. Her skin is painted in warm tones, with a hint of pink on her cheeks. She’s wearing a dark green top with a white collar, and her lips are a bold red. The background is a flat, bright orange with a small green shape peeking in. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, especially on her hair and face, giving it a rough, almost sculpted look. This style makes the colors pop and adds depth to her features. If you like this bold, textured style, look up impasto next.
