Russian girl in traditional dress


The progress of my painting- Russian girl in traditional dress. I had mentioned the WIP here..Thanks all for asking and so I have been able to finish it sooner than I thought!! It is  acrylics on canvas- A4 size. I did a lot of research for the dress and for the embroidery patterns on the dress.. 


I used one of the beautiful patterns of Russian embroidery for the background as well..I found some really lovely sites for these patterns ..If you love embroidery this and this  has good patterns..



There are still a few touch ups I want to do here and there ..but majorly she is done!!

Hope are having a lovely weekend!!!

    Matisse painted a woman with a Russian shirt. It reminds me your painting.
