LEILA

I thought I posted this portrait of Leila.  She was a model from my Friday Portrait group some months back.  She was beautiful and classy and the perfect model we love to paint. I hope that she comes back some day to model again.
This was painted on Canson mi-tientes paper using Rembrandt pastels as well as Terry Ludwig soft pastels.  I hope you like her.

  2. Bonjour chère amie,

    Cette petite Leila est ravissante et j'aime la manière que tu a traité ses cheveux. Pas facile du tout, bravo ! La lumière sur sa peau est sublime... Tu es une talentueuse portraitiste. J'avais peint une de mes petites demoiselles qui se prénommait Leila. C'était un très bon souvenir. Merci ma chère Hilda pour le partage de ce très beau portrait. Mille mercis également pour ton adorable petit mot laissé sur ma dernière publication.
    Gros bisous 🌿🌸
