Shadow of the white rose

In this picture, I tried to convey my attitude towards women. They are goddesses who give sincere love and life. I adore their beauty, grace, kindness and ability to selflessly give love.
This picture was written for about 1 month. At first, I made a wooden stretcher myself. Then, I stretched and primed the canvas. Next, I drew a drawing on the canvas - the composition of the picture. And only then began to apply oil paint with confident strokes on the canvas.
After the first layer of oil paint dried, I started painting the second and third layers. I like it when the oil paint is textured.
I am very attentive to the process of writing a face. I always try to make the girls face in the picture look like a porcelain doll.
And only when all the layers of oil paint are dry, I cover the canvas with varnish, and apply an imitation of gold.
Some paintings are painted for more than a month, because I try to make each picture a small Masterpiece!
