Noir by Lewis Cooper

Great portrait in your inimitable style. The black background works really well, and I love that quizzical slightly raised eyebrow.

It’s good portrait Lew , she has a questioning and thoughtful look on her face.

Yes, that raised eyebrow does it for me!

I wonder what she's looking at? It's a great portrait Lew.

Super portrait, skin tones and shadows excellent.

Sums up noir perfectly Lewis. Wouldn’t like to cross her.

Excellent Lewis.

Thank you all very much for having a look and commenting.

You are painting well Lewis, this is excellent.

Great portrait Lewis, love the violet eyes - a bit Liz Taylor-ish

Maybe a cigarette or just smoke🤔

Darn good Lew! She has a don’t mess with me look.

Wonderful expression Lew.

She looks like a gal with attitude. Agree about the black background, it makes the face a focus. I like this a lot Lew.

Oh yes, it’s a winner Lewis.

Attempting a pic in the noir style. Was going to put shadows of window blinds across it ( a la noir crime films), but felt it needs a full figure composition. I'll have another go. A4, mixed media.

About the Artist
Lewis Cooper

Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
