Description

I've wanted to do something like this for a long time - I adore sepia tones! And it's been a while since I've created a portrait just because I could! And we will call this part 1 - there's another on the way!

Inspired by the stunning photoshoot with Genevieve Cortese-Padalecki (Even though capturing a likeness clearly was not my goal haha)

>>Created with chalk and charcoal on Strathmore 500 tan charcoal paper in about 15 hours.
