Alicia is the lovely teenaged daughter of one of my best friends. This is my second attempt at a pastel portrait. I groped about quite a bit trying to establish a likeness and am not entirely happy with the result (will there ever come a day when I'm happy with one of my paintings?). I tried to incorporate everything I learned in Chris Saper's book,
Painting Beautiful Skin Tones, but frankly, I never felt like I knew what I was doing.
Honest feedback would be well appreciated.
