La nonette (drawing version )
 

Hi,
I couldn't resist to draw her !

16" x 20", the customary 3 colors : charcoal, and cont

Lovely... I'd love to hang it on my wall.

Ps.
 

Would please share some close-ups?

Another beauty with grace. Take a bow. Is it the same type of paper?

Hello Bonfim and Mischa !
Thank you for the comments.
Sorry, I forgot to say that it's on Fabriano artistico paper.
Here are some close-ups.

Holy cow! Excellent work. I thought it was an oil painting.

Oh my gosh! Every post of yours is such a treat. This is just delightful!

Lovely, Marina. Your marks are so unforced, as though you are telling us a story with great confidence and relaxation. You obviously enjoy what you do very, very much. Very well done!

Dear Marina,

You get better and better! I don't think there are adequate superlatives for a mastepiece of this accomplishment level. How you imply a full spectrum of color happening from just black, red, and sanguine, is pure magic! I love everything about the composition and content of this drawing. In response to this, one could compose a best selling child's book of verse that would celebrate this masterpiece for generations; it's that compelling! Bravo! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Marina, where were you when my kids were little? I would have loved to have such a beautiful painting of them. I must have missed this somewhere, but who is your little model? Her character is absolutely the right subject for your style. Just beautiful as always!
