Mona Lisa monochrome study


I thought it would be a challenge to paint some of the Old masters portrait paintings. This is my first attempt at Mona Lisa. She was a challenge for sure.
About 4 hours work, the backgound is a mix of Rembrandt burnt umber and Spectrum green light. This was gives the canvas an old parchment look. The study was painted with Transparent Red Oxide.
