Atonement

Description

Atonement with Kiera Knightley is one of my favourite movies. It's just so beautiful, both the story itself and the way it is shot. You can freeze frame at any moment and it is striking enough to frame and put on the wall. The first half of the movie it's the perfect version of summer, and that is what I wanted to capture in this painting. I know it doesn't look exactly like Keira, but I think I got the atmosphere.

It's been long in the making. I did the lineart two or three years ago, and during this summer I've painted it.
It took a long time to slowly build the layers of the skintone and her blouse. The colours are warmer in real life. It's always so hard to photograph painting and to try to make the colours as close to the original as possible.
Made in watercolour.

Beautiful illustration! I was very fond of the first part of the movie as well.
