A young goddess! May I join the choir of those inspired by this forum?
There is so much I love about this painting, I think you should sign it!
Comments for future reference might be:
- Plan an area in the background that are of same value as figure to allow for some lost edges here and there. She now stands out in lighter value, almost equally, all around.
- Children skin tones tend to be cooler, more transparent than adults. I love the warmth here, but see some struggle going on which may be resolved with temperature choices.
- The likeness works for me! What you may have done is slightly downplayed the proportionate size of her forehead. The lively spirit of your charming subject seems infinitely more important and beautifully rendered.
Time for me to stretch my first linen! Thank you for sharing!
