Hi Luca,

I like the color harmony in this painting. The different blues work well against her grey hair.

Ciao Luca, finally someone from home!!!

Guess we are not really allowed to speak Italian, though. This is an interesting work, but you have room for improvement.

Remember a few basic things, for example that white is never pure in real life, and that the colour of the background often influences the skin colour, so in this case for example you might find some blue in the skin, especially where it turns away from us. This will help to unify the subject and the background.

Also consider colour temperature, shadows are normally warm, lights are cooler.

Maybe too much all in one go, just keep going, this is a promising start.

Ilaria
