Veil of Yellow


The bright yellow outfit conveys an energy and light while the model keeps her calm cool gaze away from the viewer. The yellow outfit is the model's own from Pakistan, it shines bright in color and is enhanced with beads and rhinestones.

Veil of Yellow, oil, 12 x 16

I enjoy painting this model, she has lovely features which are enhanced by her Pixie haircut. Her mouth is full and wide and her eyes are deep and dark, she is altogether elegant. She radiates a calm energy in the studio.

As I face the model, the light is falling from the upper left and hitting the bright yellow veil brilliantly. The veil has a tiny edge of grey as it lays close to her face and there is a greenish shadow between the veil and her face. The ear under the veil is hidden but I could see a bit of earring. Note how the chandelier earrings sparkle, even from the shadow.
