Ink Wash Portrait of Samantha Gradoville. 9x12 ink wash on Bristol paper.
Samantha is very down to earth girl with a just an amazing casual confidence. This is from casting and fitting during February of 2011. We spoke briefly and I learned she is from San Diego CA and as a Southern California boy myself, and there something to the laid back cool attitude that embodies Southern California. She walks the delicate line of sweet, whimsical, and tough.
I have drawn Bonnie before and I must admit her beauty is hard to represent. I believe this candid portrait reveals more of her beauty than my first drawing of her last February. She holds herself with grace and strength. Surrounded by beautiful women in a line for casting she emitted casual cool that commanded attention.
Hanne has one the most fashion forward personal styles. This painting is from a fitting but I look forward to seeing at casting to see how she puts together her look.
