Lisa, your skin tones are beautiful here. You may want to look up Sergio Ostroverhy on this forum. His pastel work has the same attention to detail and delicacy. Soon I'll be working on a young girl wearing glasses like your portrait. I've talked to her parents about the distortion the glasses create (enlargement of the eyes), and we've decided to go ahead with painting her without the glasses and adding them later. That way the lens distortion won't affect the painting. Just a little cosmetic surgery and painterly "slight of hand".

Jean
