oil on canvas paper, 12" x 9"
This is a portrait study of Sylvie Vartan, the French actress and singer popular in the 1960s and 1970s. I did it in palette knife, with a few minor refinements in brush at the end. I was surprised how willing she was to be painted. I sometimes get a definite vibe when painting a portrait (without their permisison), and this one was all in for it. So, yay!
