About this piece

This painting of a young girl with a white scarf is an alla prima study, created as part of an online course I took with artist Susan Lyon. The course focused on capturing a portrait in an hour using a very limited palette of ultramarine blue, transparent red oxide, and white.

This portrait is soft and atmospheric, with delicate shadows.

Heirloom-worthy Details

Ampersand Gessobord™ is one of the most trusted and archival professional painting panels on the market. A favorite among working artists for its rigid, warp-resistant surface, it's built from high-density hardboard sealed with Ampersand's proprietary Archiva-Seal technology to prevent yellowing and discoloration over time, then coated with a smooth, acid-free acrylic gesso ground. At 1/8" thick, the panel won't bow or flex the way canvas can, and its slim profile makes it well-suited to floater frame or regular frame presentation.

To further protect your investment, the painting is varnished with a removable varnish in a beautiful satin sheen. This keeps the painting protected from dust, moisture, and UV damage over time, while the varnish can be safely removed and reapplied decades from now without disturbing the paint underneath—giving it a long, stable life as an heirloom piece
