Hi Maria,

Nice fresh start on this topic.

I like your color harmony.

Assume that you painted from live model, are you going to take it further?

Since this is a critique section I will give it a try.: You should look at her left arm, it looks too short. Of cause it will be shorter than the right arm, due to the perspective, but when looking at the picture from a distance it looks like a distortion.

Then the values and shape in the head and neck. It would not be possible that the value on her left cheek is that light in the light direction as it is indicated on the body.

The ear, how would it be as light in the shadow as on the lit side?

Maybe it would help if you painted the model without the necklace at first and added it later when the body structure is solved.

Allan
