Portrait Of A Woman

I fell in love with this picture the minute that I saw it and I just had to draw it.

This was my first pastel paint picture and I enjoyed it very much. I must be honest and say that I had a bit of help from my art teacher. It is copied from a photocopy print that she has.

***Note from Kerry:
Hi Bella, this is stunning! I can see why you loved it. It's very good for your first effort in pastel. Well done.

I can certainly see why you fell in love with this and had to draw it. Don't suppose you could send it my way? I know I would never do it justice but it would be fun to try.
