Portrait of fellow artist, Noora.
A charming and sweet girl from Finland, I have been following Noora's work for a while now, and her art has delighted me to no end. I keep trying to convince her to sell me one of her paintings, they are bursting with life and exude a charm of innocence and joy.
I won't go into the long story, that's for another day - but I needed to draw a Finnish girl.
I was delighted when Noora accepted my request, and gave me free range to her many beautiful self portraits. This one struck me as particularly nostalgic.
A quick watercolour practice "sketch" before I embark on the actual portait, I can't wait to share that one! *_*
In the meantime, pop over to her blog, and have a peek at
This one is so sweet, less flirtatious than many of your others but still playful- ladylike and childish all at once. Looking forward to seeing this painting!
ReplyDeleteI think this one is my favorite, it is kind of different from your other work, but it is still just as awesome...you dig? I seriously wish I was as good as you are!
ReplyDeleteohhh you've captured the delicate dainty sweetness of Noora so perfectly!
ReplyDeleteYou're all adorable :-)
ReplyDeleteCrystal, I love how you put it, I think that sums it up nicely :-)
