My reference photos for the latest portrait

Hello dear art friends,
It was a while since my last blog post. I share most of my art on social media, but today I wanted to share with you my reference images I have used to create the painting above, because I know that for us, artists, the inspiration is just as interesting as the final painting 🙂

I used an old vynil record to paint on. I cleaned it up with 70% alcohol and covered in black gesso. Then I painted everything in acrylics. 2 years later i painted over with oil paints.

Some paintings could be complited in a few hours and some take years. I feel satisfied with the final result. I think she has a character, and this is most important quality for me that I’m trying my best to achieve :).

That’s it for now. Thank you for reading :). I’m looking forward to your comments below. I hope this post will inspire you to paint too!


Much love,
Olga
