Hannah
This is a painting I rushed to finish. It is framed, has been in a show, and is on my website, but it is not what I had hoped for and I am ready to rework it. I am thinking of softening the edge between the neck and the hair on the left and brightening the violet light that travels across the arms may help.
I selected the pose from a photo I had taken. The values were too extreme in the photo and Hannah was kind enough to sit for me on several occasions which helped tremendously with the middle tones. I have had a lot of trouble photographing it because the actual painting has many light orange tones mixed in with the blue and the area of light behind her is brighter and warmer.
I would appreciate any and all advice the forum has to offer
Thank you for looking
