My favorite “passing of time” is sitting on a large busy square in a big city, watching people passing by. New York, Paris, London, Amsterdam, it doesn\u2019t matter where. It doesn\u2019t matter what people look like. Young, old, ugly or beauty queens. A happy face of a child playing or somebody old showing the signs of time. So many different faces and every one of them is unique in its own way.<\/p>\n

The same goes for cats and dogs. A stray, a mutt or a dog show champion. They\u2019re all cute. Look into a dog\u2019s eyes and you can tell what he is up to.<\/p>\n

Human eyes can tell a story of life itself. That\u2019s what I want to capture in my portraits.<\/p>\n

Pastel is an excellent medium for rendering dramatic qualities of light in a portrait. The colors are immensely varied from soft delicate tints to bright vibrant hues and rich deep darks. The advantage of a powdery medium like pastel is that it is easily blended to create a range of subtle and beautiful effects.<\/p>\n

Every face is worth drawing<\/p>\n

Cora  is born and raised in the Netherlands and since 2000 living in beautiful and picturesque Bucks County Pennsylvania.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
