Karin,
This is so thoughtfully composed and so beautifully painted. Although the subject is clearly modern and the landscape is traditional English, she is completely integrated into the setting. It is also a great example of a portrait that looks and feels like a painting, not in the least like a photograph. The details are beautiful, and a treat to look at. Thanks for posting!

You are using optical blue, right?

I am not sure what the term "Optical Blue" means exactly, but I use an "earth palette." When I stick to this palette, a mixture of ivory black and white looks very blue. Sometimes it is so electric looking I have to tone it down.
If you're interested, I have a lot of technical info for other artists on my website in the following section:
http://www.karinwells.com/technical2.htm
I have also made a lot of posts explaining my methods at various places here on this Forum.
As I painted this portrait of Gwyneth, I documented each stage and my goal is to eventually produce an eBook/DVD that explains how, step-by-step, the methods/technique I use to paint a portrait. Right now, I tend to shortcut the methods of the Old Masters but get the same results. I'd like to share this info.
