[Geri Comicz]

My second attempt. This is from a picture in an old Master Technique book. I took a photo of the photo (which was probably a mistake) from a painting by Bouguereau. I sharpened the source photo a little as it was fuzzy.

If any one has the time for a comment it would be much appreciated. I see a great deal that needs to be changed, but the pastel is flaking off already and I hesitate to correct this one. But for future attempts, pointing out the errors would be very helpful.

Just a question. If this were done in oil and glazing would this be a good one for the (hoping I have the term correct) Verdaccio method? Thanks for looking and/or commenting. geri
