Myrna Wacknov creates wonderfully expressive portraits. I was watching her demonstration at FALC today, and how she lets colors play their own game on paper is nothing short of a miracle. It’s not chaotic color mixing but a sign of confidence; Myrna clearly knows her medium, paper, and tools, has excellent drawing skills, but doesn’t struggle to control anything. I really like that. She was drawing from a photo, but the result was not merely a copy, it was better, it was truly alive.
