How I painted a portrait for a friend

[alexkorolart]

ARTIST: Alexander Korol
TITLE: "Birthday card.Oksana"
SIZE: 70х100 cm
YEAR: 2011

This portrait of well-known good friend I did on the day of her birth. So I called the "Happy Birthday Card".
I decided to compose the figure in the classic triangle. We worked with the model several sessions in the workshop. I wanted to convey the light and playful mood of the model. Also, secret symbols and signs was used in the picture, which are known only to the two of us.

First I made the cardboard (drawing in the amount of work on kraft paper using charcoal).

Then I translated the drawing to the surface. And in a random order, I applied a multi-colored texture.
After these simple procedures, I began to write a portrait directly.

Thank you for watching!
I will be glad to hear what do you think about this work.

Gorgeous work, Alex! I especially love how you paint the folds of the different fabrics in this piece. Her pants and her top and the bed sheet are all very nicely done. Her expression is also well detailed and I love the use of negative space in the canvas :)
