A painted portrait of a Black woman with curly hair and hoop earrings, wearing a white linen blouse, looking to the side.

A traditionally hand-painted, full-color portrait of a Black woman in the expressive, atmospheric style of fine art portraiture. She has deep brown skin with warm undertones, and soft 4C curls pinned back loosely. She wears a textured linen blouse with subtle embroidery. The portrait is painted with natural brush strokes, visible texture, and slight imperfections — as if made with oil paints on canvas. The background is muted and slightly unfinished, with faded earthy tones and dry-brush edges. Use natural lighting, soft shadows, and restrained color grading. Composition should feel intimate and grounded — imperfect symmetry, human touch, no digital polish. Emphasize realism and emotion over perfection. Avoid overly sharp details, smooth skin textures, or AI-like lighting artifacts.” See more
