Hi Lisa, I'm so glad you tried this surface and liked it so much! This one is moody compared to the other one. The first Kelly was very sensual (with attitude), this seems more mysterious.
Next time you do your reference work, try to think of things like the hand position in advance. Or better yet, catch it during the shoot. I once had a client come back for a session, just to photograph her hands. My original reference looked okay at first, but when I painted the hand it looked more like a claw. No matter what I tried it still looked like a claw (not good on a 5 year old girl)!
I like this version also, for a practice piece it is very successful. And even if the jacket was a pain to do, it really "makes" the portrait.
