Getting ready




16" x 22" pastels on la Carte sanded paper.


I have been working on this painting for about a week now, and it is getting on my nerves. I just don't know how to bring this to completion. I really don't know what is wrong with it, whether it is the light and shadow or the composition, but somehow it does not look very 'natural' to me. I think the woman looks a little stiff, but I cannot see what I am doing wrong here. I would appreciate everyone's input on this painting. Also, should I crop this painting a bit more?

Thanks,
Mai
