Description

An eastern girl holding her (Mibkharah) to be perfumed (This called Bokhoor which is like the perfume) and the girl sits with a closed eyes wanting to be separated from the outside world neither the peoples eyes looking at her and she was trying not to read what's on the newspapers from tragedies and sorrows or even happy news ... she just want to forget, but these newspapers surround her and makes her pay attention by force , and behind these newspapers and what's written in it people looking at her with curiosity and wonder.

Note: the news papers behind the girl are having news that has been published on the press about the most important events and tragedies that are happening in the Middle East in the past few years and I wrote all that news by my hand in Arabic language but you can read it only at the original size of the work which is 11000 *11000 pixels


Done with Photoshop CS and a Wacom Graphire4 A5
I toke so many photos of my friend to use them as a references for the pose and the dress, but there is no reference used for the face and the hair .
This painting took a long time to complete and The biggest use was for the Hard Round brush and the spackled brush
