This
headdress is part of a historical costume of a region called Hordaland in
Norway. I think it looks geometrical and beautiful, and it gave me inspiration
for this piece.
I had no
specific reference for the face, all done from memory, but I had reference for
the angles and inspiration for her costume, based on a “bunad” (official
historical local costume).
The lady
and anything else on her is painted from scratch, while the background is a
photo manipulation + painting mixed technique.
This piece
is very important to me, because it marks an improvement on my work as digital
painter. From now on, I will be producing more realistic paintings, such as
this one.
It will
also be featured on my art book, coming soon!
Painted with Painter 12 + my old Wacom Intuos 3.

Excellent piece Isis ... and to pull off a face as good as that one from memory is incredible!
