Here is the underpaint of the photo I posted in the photo critique section. The original photo is about 30 years old and I'm doing this for the mother. The client has seen this and loves it. The edge between the hair and background has been left hard and will be softened when I add color. I don't like the contrast between the light corner of the dress on the left side and the "floor" so this will be changed when I add color. I did take Marvin's recommendation and put a doll in a dress for a better light resource. I also added a few throw pillows around to add more color to the finished painting. Any suggestions about value range, composition, drawing accuracy and likeness, and edges are welcomed.

Thank you in advance,
Renee Price
