Marlene Breitenstein ArtMar 3

Done! This is my first serious portrait, though it was only for practice. I could refine it further, but it’s time to move on. Painted from a photo of actor Saoirse Ronan in Little Women (I’m a sucker for beautiful cinematography), I used soft pastels on pastel mat. I’m a colorist in both my painting and photography, and I really enjoyed working with the blue, green, and purple undertones of her skin.
