Jimmie,
Sorry I missed the WIP, must slap myself.... This is just stunning!
Actually I think the tighter style works really well in this particular piece. Your previous works are free and relaxing but this one is different, well different in a good way. You captured the atmosphere and the intensity of her gaze, it shows a lot of attitude!
IMHO, I don't think "loose" is better than "tight" or "tight" is better than "loose" , they convey different feelings and tell different stories. I love seeing and experimenting with both.
It's always a pleasure to see your work! I better go and get started on my pastel now.
