Alex,
I agree with edges. anyway, I'm going to try something looser and thicker ( I like those words) I'm sure that in one or two hundred more paintings it will come naturally ...
Oh. I'm SOOOO happy to know that I have an interesting bone structure, nobody told me that before!

Hi Mary Jane,
in fact, my idea was to give a 18th century feeling, but it sounds that it's more 19th century finally. It's OK, Ingres is one of my heros.
I'm going to check the details you pointed, and certainly you will see the result.
Thank you for taking the time to comment.

Sharon,
thank you. I think I'm going to print all those suggestions to be sure that I don't forget something...
I wanted to make a quick small study before, but finally spent 6 or 7 hours on it before I decide it was too much for a "quick" study. And finally, as it was a very sunny day, it didn't help me at all for the colors.
I'm not sure exactly what a color study should be like. Someone could post one exemple, please? I understand the concept, but a picture would be helpful to visualize it...

Judson,
I know the photo have some glare ( I just oiled it out because lots of earth colors sunk) I did my best to minimized it.
thanks for the comment.
