Absolutely stunning work, Satu! The tonal work is superb and the effect of the light is beautifully captured.

Beautiful painting Satu, you are clever! Her hair highlights and angle of her head is perfect.

This is simply gorgeous, right from the attitude of the body to the delicately painted hair. A wonderful painting and one you should be very proud of.

Fascinated by the beautiful light on her hair and shoulders I had to have a go at trying to paint her portrait. Very limited palette and quite a big canvas. It was a challenge and I very much enjoyed it.
