I have struggled with Phoebe's portrait for over a week. I have mainly been working in pastels for the past two years, and am finding the transition back to oils hard. I welcome any and all constructive criticisms you may have. I'd like to know if the skins tones look natural in color and blending and values, what you think of the indistinct outdoor background and its colors, ETC. I appreciate and value your insights. Many thanks. The canvas is around 19x25.
