Petra explained
I appreciate all the info given and I agree about the varying of the values color etc. Not to excuse --but my plan was really --not to plan as much as I usually do as I wanted the face in focus and to adknowledge it first. I really wanted this to be one of those unfinished looks of the surrounding areas. But I see that it just appears that I did not know what I was doing. Most of my commissions are finished to a "t" so to speak. With this one being basically an experiamental portrait study--I left it unfinished and tried to concentrate on her thought processes shown within her eyes.
,Do you see what I mean? Having said that--I still want it to look finished yet the focus realistic. More knowledge can only help me to accomplish that so I do appreciate your advice. Thanks for any input good and bad. I like varying my edges in portraiture and in my still life but does this look too overdone?
