Gillian - The Painting

[Dale Shipman]

Jeanine,

I'm glad that you posted an update, as I was getting curious about how this was coming along.

I really like her skin tones and the detail of her face. You have her looking vibrant. After viewing your reference photo I agree with Enzie about her hand on the rail and with Mari about some of the surface still looking thin, but since you're still working on this, I'm sure you're aware of this. And you seem to be working out the comments made by Denise.

One thing that I might add is to be careful with the brightness of the blinds on the wall. To me they seem to be competing with the subject. The area behind her head and torso is looking very good, especially on her right side, which really accents the flow of her head and body against the background.
