Charcoal Portrait of a young woman with long hair to one side
Artist
Greta Corens
Medium
Painting - Charcoal On Paper
Description
This portrait was made during a life session in charcoal on white paper. It shows a young and beautiful woman with her long hair swept to one side. Her high cheekbones show her strong, carved features, a high forehead, and a serious, questioning look. she wears a fashionable cowl neck sweater and she looks straight at the viewer with a questioning, even skeptical demeanor. I love to paint such portraits, direct and uncompromising. For this type of commission of an active, no-frills woman on the go, charcoal is the preferred medium.

Once again a truly masterful work of art and of course quite the beautiful and showing portrait as always! Greta, I wonder if you take these personalities from people you know in life, or use your imagine, or perhaps even both? Either way, you are constantly leaving me in awe,
