This is a loose yet accurate painting of a woman who caught my attention online.

I started this painting with the only objective being to accurately capture the feeling of her gaze, her eyes (emotion, and colour, the same yellowish orange being fluent also in her hair), and her features, with nothing else really being of much concern.

The lack of concern can be seen elsewhere in the painting, with messy strokes evident throughout the rest of the canvas encompassing the realistic face.

Thanks for reading
