Hi, Jennifer.

Your subject's gaze is surely riveting.

Did you by any chance take this posting with a flash? (If you did, try again in natural light & no flash.) I'm finding almost all values to be in a very narrow range, producing a flattening effect.

A lot of definition of the mouth & chin is lost, and I don't feel you gave the shirt much attention.

I personally find watercolor far too demanding a medium, and far tougher to correct. Have you ever tried oils?

Keep it up!
