Hi Monique,

You are doing such a great job (I only wish I could pick up watercolor as fast), I hate to mention a few little things, but here goes:

There are a few places where the value contrast is too strong. The places that stand out for me are in the coat (around the pocket, under the arms, vertical wrinkles under the collar) and in the girl's face (chin, bottom of cheek, under her eyes). The exaggerated contrast results in a slightly overworked appearance. Also, the transitions in the wool coat are not gradual enough. A little more blending should do the trick.

The hair looks much better!
