The idea with the texture was to diversify it to the minimum
so that the essence of the model would shine through the painting
without being disturbed "by" the painting itself...
So I would say, there was basically no work on the texture,
the effort was made on a kind of mystical presence of the person in front of you...
My brother, when he looked at it,
stayed with his mouth open for a few minutes... so surprising was the human (or inhuman) presence of Anna...
That picture of my brother glazing with his open mouth
(it's very hard to astonish him, he's a phlegmatic lawyer)
I think was the best recompense for me from the picture till now...
Although I believe that the "Yakut" roots of the model
(Yakutia is the land where all the shamans, mammoth bones and diamonds are of Siberia see the attachment of a typical yakut dress) must bring me more unexpected stuff...
As for the model...
Huh.
It's a whole story... Too long to talk about it.
