Mairead, my first critique posting!
Hi, feeling a bit apprehensive but here goes. This is my first critique posting. I work as a GP in Scotland, lifelong interest in portraiture but time spent on my scientific training means I'm largely self taught. I recently attended a workshop with the master pastellist Ken Paine, a total inspiration
He's encouraged me to work loosely and regard the picture as a whole.
I love pastels, hopefully they will be a stepping stone to oils but they're too much fun to leave just now!
This is a postumous portrait of my grandmother, a very lively lady.
Size is 18X24 inches on pastel paper
I'd be grateful for comments/guidance from others.
Apologies for pixelation of image, I'm not very technically minded and I'm still experimenting with compression of files etc. Alterations to the picture welcomed!
