Figure in progress

Wow, this arm is great!

Here is the additional arm in progress. I'm having a heck of a time with this hand, but it's shaping up slowly. I'm thinking of going over the skintones with a warm glaze after it's dry. The hand is looking a little too cool to me at this point.

Sandra,
This is coming nicely. I like the repositioning of the right hand. It makes a better composition. Just make sure that the appropriate adjustment is made to the right shoulder as well. There will be a subtle change because the arm has moved down and back.

Sandra,
what a treat to follow your struggles. I also like your cool color harmony.

I think that the long finger on the table should touch it further back, in respect to the perspective.

I worked on the hand. Does this look right? It is so easy to mess up these digits!

When I posted this, I wasn't sure if Figurative Critiques or Works in Progress would be more appropriate. It's looking like I should have chosen WIP. But, if no one minds, I'll continue here. I'm out in the suburbs of central Texas, so it's so refreshing to have feedback from actual artists again!

Sandra,
I think that the tip of the long finger should be higher up on the painting to look as if it is placed further away from the rim of the table. I have tried to illustrate it with some perspective lines.
