Pretty Girl

oil on canvas 16 x 20 inches
We had a very pretty girl as our model last week. After the alive painting section, I didn't think my alive painting reflect her beauty. Not even a bit, so I went on to paint a larger portrait of her using the photo I took there and the alive painting I did before. This way I can have enough time to focus on the details and really "paint" her. Here is the result. Critiques are always welcome.

Comment by Xiao Li on November 1, 2014 at 8:59: Thank you so much Ana, Silvana and Jessica for your nice comments. Yes, Ana, the hat was put on the way that it won't block the light on her face so that the face features can be seen clearly. It looks like it is a little up there, not really down like it should be. I am working on to be more "professional", but thank you very much Ana for the encouraging comment!

Comment by Jessica Futerman on October 31, 2014 at 21:04: Beautiful brushwork & colour, especially on the hat & clothes!

Comment by Silvana M Albano on October 31, 2014 at 11:18: Wow Xiao! You have improved so much in portraits!!!!

Comment by Ana Murza on October 31, 2014 at 9:44: Yes, you are right and also, I can see the source of light was place in the way that enhanced face features. You did a good job on it I am not afraid to say that it looks very professional.

PS. In my first post I meant brush instead of rush. Cheers!
