I’ve done a little bit more work on this painted portrait I started a while back. It’s based on sketchbook drawings of my young relative. It’s been quite a learning experience as I’ve only started painting seriously since the Covid19 lockdown started – I’m a printmaker and scribbler. But I’m pleased with the way it’s gone. Her face looks too old and needs a tiny bit of tweaking and her hand needs finishing off.

As an official self-proclaimed critic, I feel that nothing more needs to be done here. If you mess with the face and hand you risk getting too detailed to fit in nicely with the rest of the painting. I know you’re trying to portray someone and don’t want to make them less lovely than they are in life, but if you didn’t have that consideration you might agree with me. End of unsolicited critique…😉
That’s very useful, thanks. Finishing an artwork is so hard and I appreciate an extra ‘eye’ xxx 😀
