Mona Maya

101 Oil Studies, No. 54

Rainbow Monas Set (Nos. 52–55)

 

The Rainbow Monas began as studies in skin tones but evolved into Mona Lisa pretenders, each a portrait of a woman against a dramatic, natural background. Fun, and very instructive on my path toward oll proficiency. Which Mona do you like best?
