Hello Sharon,
the art school I'm attending is probably not the best, although it used to be very good in the past (it's the most ancient , I think, in Italy);

the program for the figure class consists of drawing from life (statues and head sculptures) during the first year, then in the second one, which I'm currently attending, painting from photos, and then in the third and fourth year, drawing and painting from life the model.

Although I understood thanks to Allan, what a poor and unsuitable reference I choose for this portrait, ( I have to say that also my instructor tried to make me choose another one), I would really know if my approach to a portrait painting (being this my first one, besides my previous pastels) is totally wrong, if I did refine it too much, if the drawing is not proportioned, etc.

I'm really open to hear any advice and suggestion, to hopefully do a better work next time!

Thank you for your answer

Alessandra
