Original artwork description:

This oil painting is sure to draw the eye of any viewer. Measuring 16 inches by 12, the artwork portrays a young female figure standing confidently with a vibrant red umbrella held aloft. The scene is framed against a monochrome background, with light shadows cast from the figure, bringing an extra element of realism to the artwork.

Michael Harding's handmade paints were used to bring out this composition’s luminosity and create subtle variations of tone throughout the work. There are warm tones used on her face and hair, providing definition and brightness to these areas while cooler hues offer delicate shading on her clothing and the red umbrella adds just enough contrast to the piece to bring out its vibrancy.
