She is just stunning! You've completely captured that penetrating, yet casual glance, just gorgeous, shadows, shading, even the chaise is gorgeous. Well done. Thank you so much for sharing this!

One word is all that is necessary: Elegant. FAR requires more so nice expression, relaxed but sensual, stately and excellent use of tones and shades. Well there you have it.

It looks like I used up my six-star rating too quickly. This is absolute mastery of pencil combined with a wonderful sense of form and posture. I love your ability to render the finest of detail in the right places, while other elements drift into a sense of watercolor and soft tone. This is extraordinary work.

Well there's a lot of talent in this one. It's hard to draw the Irish. They never sit still. :). The shading and tonal qualities are very well presented in this. It has some very delicate parts done with amazing clarity, It looks like an old tintype.

    Brawnwyn was beautiful, but a bit of a diva. Demanding and all. Had to get up every few minutes to sip water and glance into the mirror. Just Kidding.
    Thank you for the wonderful review.

HI Linda,

As usual, you show stunning technique and mastery of form, detail, drape of cloth. Her face is filled with life, so you have characterization at its finest too.

All the best,

Vince

Your pencil wlrk is seriously a thing to behold. It doesnt cease to amaze me how talented you are with graphite! I love the detail shown on the pattern of her dress and the shading of her skin tone. Excellent darkness in the background for a more dramatic effect. Amazing job as usual!
