Hi Leslie,
I just wanted to say that you've picked a wonderful painting to copy in terms of practising your skills with different textures. Look at all the wonderful surfaces you have to explore: the fuzzy hair, the lace, the fabric, the supple leather and of course that alluring skin.
So often we just focus on the head in this Forum when what brings a painting to life is the careful attention to textures and how they compare and contrast with the human form. Well done!
