Study of Marie-C - Day 26

ACRYLIQUE

Je crois bien avoir passé autant de temps sur le sketch qu'à peindre ce portrait de Marie-C une fille superbe et qui joue au roller derby. Il y a une bonne couche de gesso comme base avec beaucoup de texture.

I think I spent as much time drawing the sketch than painting this portrait of Marie -C, a beautiful girl who plays roller derby. A lot of gesso was applied at the very beginning to create some texture.
