| I just finished this painting. Please critique it for me. I have my own ideas of improvement but, I would like to hear someone else's before I continue. I've put the picture that I worked from here also. Thanks for the input in advance! |

I think you did a great job of capturing the expression. The tonal
qualities of the face seem to be a little washed out. That may just
be the photo though. I like the colors of your background.

| Thank you Jim, It is the photo.Although, I was wondering, do you think that I should have went darker with th darks even though It is a daylight pic? I don't know how to get my paintings to come across better online, to me they ALL loose the color that I see here in person. Any suggestions? |

I've been told many times not to be a slave to photos. I can't see
the original, but if you are questioning if you should ad more darks
it might not be a bad idea. If your camera has a turn off flash feature,
try taking the pic with it off. If it doesn't, try taping a piece of copy paper over
the flash to soften it.
