Love that lighting
This is my first post as I have been busy reading and studying the technical pages. I just discovered this whole site last week and am getting into portrait painting after years of landscape, still life and fighting my true love, painting the portrait. I have so much to learn and am presently searching for the right workshop with the right teacher for me and for this summer no less.
This composition is wonderful and the lighting is magnificent. The only thing I can find is the bridge of the nose (as someone else mentioned) and the lips seem a bit too flat and dark. I may be very wrong because I truly have not gone to your site to check your other portraits for a handle on your style. I just think the lips are a little dark for the rest of her face. Also, it could be the flatness of the computer image itself fooling my eye. Regardless, it is a beautiful work and I love the cabled sweater also!
