Thank you Jim. I'm glad that I'm not the only artist who uses the 'Photoshop assistant'! It is very new to me and I wasn't sure whether it might be regarded as cheating.

In my humble opinion, anything that can help with my venture into portraits I would not hesitate in using. After all, proportions have to be spot on, otherwise it will never look right.

I hadn't realised until I used it how far out my drawing was! Besides all the little things that were slightly out on her face, her hand was way out, and I mean way, way out!

I think that I was concentrating so much on the face that I ignored the obvious.

Anyway, I will stop enthusing about my Photoshop assistant and get back to the portrait.

I have done as much as I can do until next week because I have a 'bread and butter' watercolour to complete before the end of the week.

I will attach a pic of where it stands at this moment, just in case anybody spots something. Anything that you can suggest to improve it further will be much appreciated.

Oh, by the way Jim, about the Belgian beers. Chimay is my favorite and I love it. And yes, Brugge is wonderful. Unfortunately, I live in Mons which is about an hour away. Mons is depressing! Can't wait to move back to the UK!

Thank you again, Jim, for looking and all your useful advise. You never know, one day I may be an expert and I may be able to help you out!
