This is a precious work. Your grandmother looks like a very kind soul and you are showing that to the world. What a gift to be able to use your talent in such a way. The light, shading and colors you've put together are lovely.

The color effect is so special, to the emotional level. The shading is quite magical; for an example, skin around next. She looks so expressive. This is wonderful painting.

This is a well done painting. A bit "outlined" but overall very nicely done. It captures a lot of personality and emotion, and the composition is very nice. Nice Job :)

Thanks for sharing

Pam

Comment from Eleanor Perrotta


Katya, you are very creative and artistic. I love your concept of how your Grandmother looked. She must have been a very happy woman by the smile she has on her face. Your colors are nice. Watercolors and pencil blend together nicely and compliment each other. Nice presentation. Eleanor

    Thank you again!
    She did have pretty hard life, went through the WW2, lost her husband to cancer and her son to drugs, but that last time I saw her and took the pictures she was more peaceful than I ever remember:)

    You have captured and achieved that peacefulness in her in your art. Well done, Thanks for sharing. Eleanor
