"The President of Finland revisited…"
 
Hello all.
Here´s my version of mrs. Halonen. Original is done on 8´ x 11´ 140g hot press watercolor paper, Derwent graphite pencils (H, F, HB, 3B) blended with chamois and blue tack, which was also only eraser I used in this pic. It took under 20 hours in couple of weeks – extremely fast pace for me…
And yes, there seems to be only this one reference picture of her – for some reason .
Comments and critiques are welcome.

JL

   This is amazing work! How many hours do you think you have in this portrait? The clarity is outstanding . . . no critique here either.

Morjes, JL! You finally made it up here with quality artstuff. This halonen is really nice. Did you send the jpeg to this mag competition?

Jukka, that's brilliant! I can't fault it (even if I wanted to ). It's so well studied and carefully executed and drawn with such speed that I'm just amazed!

I haven't seen much of your work since Heidi. Is this a milestone piece? A work in which your abilities have improved in one single step? Or have I missed a few in between?

Enough questions...... I'm going back for another long look........

Thanks everybody for your kind words!
Bill, something like 15-20 hours.
MHK, I send it today, lets see what happens...
Mike, perhaps this really is sort of milestone piece, maybe it shows that I should draw only older ladies , I posted this and previous pic - which didn´t actually work out quite the way I wanted - to you today.
