Nicely done Holly. I don't like smooth panels for alla prima. Actually I don't like them for much of anything. I use Claessens SP#13 for my alla prima paintings. The paint bites beautifully. A smooth panel needs a base layer for the paint to grab onto. It's better suited for working with layers if you must use it as all.
My critique would be that the distance from the bottom of the nose to the chin looks too long. At least that's how it appears to me. On an alla prima painting the drawing really needs to be nailed before you lay on any thick paint. Great job.
