Interested in your thoughts

[Vickie Saadi]

Hi, Lon,

Thanks for your critique. Your information acutally opened my eyes up to things that I hadn't seen before. As you noted, the wings should have softened edges and I will correct that right away. I was so focused on the softening of the cupid's contour that there was not as much emphasis put on the plaster wings! I work with compressed charcoal and I blend with a stump. I'm starting the underpainting in monochromatic values, and once completed, I will post and will look foward to your insight.

Sincerely,
Vickie Saadi
