Striking Black and White Portrait with Blue Accents

More about Striking Black and White Portrait with Blue Accents

A high-contrast, black and white portrait painting of a woman's face, with her head tilted slightly, staring directly at the viewer with big, beautiful, bright, detailed blue eyes that appear to be a mix of blue and green, and a neutral expression with slightly parted lips. Her hair, a cascade of dark, wet, textured strands, frames her face and blends into the dynamic brushstrokes of the background. There is a streak of blue paint, resembling a vibrant splash, across her nose and cheeks. The background is a stark contrast of black and white brushstrokes, enhancing the dramatic effect of the painting. The blue paint is textured like thick, splattered paint, giving the impression of it being applied directly onto the canvas. The painting is highly stylized, with crisp, visible brushstrokes and an impasto technique. The lighting is soft but dramatic, highlighting the contours of her face and the luminosity of her eyes and lips.
