Almost finished




Just tidying up the hair and forearm on this one. A very patient model!

Margaret, this is lovely. You've captured her body gesture well, with just a few strokes.

Beautiful Margaret.

You have a very personal way with color. She has a beautiful glow.

One teeny thing, ther neck-line seems a bit sharp, but other than that she is quite exquiste.

Thank you! Much appreciated

The neck line definitely needs softening and the forearm is needing a bit of modelling. Too scared to go near the face, this is the point when it can all go horribly wrong.....

Thank you. I'm reasonably happy, wondering if she's ready to go out into the world?
