Sara,

Thanks for the critique. I did buy "Painting Children's Portraits in Pastel" by Wende Caporale. I will continue to push myself in working with the pastel. I enjoy it, but must say, the halftone and shadow tones require careful observation.

I have a limited number of pastels right now, compared to what I see other artists have. I am gradually building up my supply. I did buy a set of shadow colors by Unison.

I should have done more work on the dress. I am also trying not to overblend the work.

Thank you for your comments and time

Alicia
