Absolutely stunning -- and a real potential prizewinner, I think. This is such a well exectued and interesting composition that I think it would do very well in the major international competitons.

Marina,
This is absolutely impressive. As in your last charcoal/crayon piece, I am so completely drawn into the illusion, into what you are saying, that I have to keep pulling back to admire the technical skill. The drapery is, I think, stunningly executed and deceptively simple.
Thanks so much for taking the time to post a photo and demo of your materials.

Wow!
Dear Marina,
I too am speechless. This too deserves a prize! You are a magician and great master with these mere options of black, sanguine or red; I love what you do. I would love to see your drawings in person one day; the travel would be totally justified. I need better vocabulary than stunning and breathtaking. Your drawing is powerfully graphic, yet so tender and emotive. Bravo!
Garth
