Hi Kim,

You know, I like those last two poses. I like the attitude in the stance and I also like the fact that you can play with the light and dark background behind her hair to set it off or lose edges as you deem fit.

This will work well when kept loose and fresh, which I know you'll do.

In terms of color in full shade: I really advise that you physically get somebody out there - keep your client seated for a few hours (tell her you need a "color sketch" if you feel any anxiety about getting a likeness of her), hire a model, whatever you need to do - with similar coloring and practise painting skin from life outside. It will look much different than it does in this photo, I guarantee it.
