Ella & Anna In Charcoal & White Pastel




I just finished these drawings of two sisters. The whites & grays are really lost in the reproduction. Next time I will make sure the photos are better before I let them go.

Any thoughts, comments or suggestions would be great!

Lara, I have always admired your portraits. You have a wonderful soft touch. I'm sure the clients love these.

I have been having a horrible time the last few days trying to get decent pictures of three portraits that will be delivered tomorrow, I'm hoping it will be nice today so I can get one more shot at it!

Lara,

What beautiful portraits! I particularly appreciate how well you have designed, and still individualized them - from pose, to value scheme, to dress - yet how compatible they will be hanging as a pair.

Congratualations!

These are gorgeous. Such a sensitive touch you have. The integration of white with charcoal is seamless. I just saw your website. Beautiful drawings!!

David
