This is a fantastic painting. I am taken how well the features define with the great shading technique. I also the strong expression in this; the eyes are especially powerful. the mood creation is over the top. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Barb Hornegisaspca


Woo, this is a wild piece. I love the freedom of the hair and the lack of clothes. The eyes are to focal point of the piece and they are full of mischief.

Just not too familiar with this singer/song writer but this pieced certainly sets a mood for me. Almost a Warhol feel about the results but in a very muted palette! Almost a pixie like look on her face (maybe the oversized ears?) keep it from being frightening! Very nice work with the pencil! Jean

    Ah Jean, you've got to see her to really appreciate this. If you google 'Kate Bush Wuthering Heights', you'd soon become acquainted with Kate's eccentricities! :) Thanks for the kind review! R

On the whole I really like this picture of Kate Bush. The composition is great and there is some nice detail and good use of light. I like the colour palette as well. However, what lets this down slightly is the eyes which are just too big and starey. Nice effort though.

    Unfortunately her eyes in reality happen to be big and stary so I can't help you there. Thanks for the review. R

Great portrait. Nice facial expression, great color and contrast. Amazing details, great illumination, shading and background. I like the hair, very well done. Great job.
