Here's my little bit
Hi -
I'm a newbie here, and almost don't dare comment, but I'll share my two cents.
First of all, as the close-up came into view, I sat admiring the soft gradations of the hair on the top of the head. There's some nice modeling in this painting. And the drawing looks really good to me.
The things that disturb me are 1) the lips look like they have lipstick on them, they are so perfectly symmetrical and red 2) the bowl cut looks so severe -- is it really that hard and dark at the bottom? 3) the eyes look like they have been outlined in black -- could be the image sent to the screen, but they seem awfully dark.
What kind of linen did you use? And how much priming? Just curious, because you have achieved such a nice effect of softness that doesn't appear to show the linen texture, which I don't care for. Is your paint thin or thickly applied?
Anyway, there are a lot of wonderful things going on in your painting, and I bet your client will be pleased.
