Hello everybody,

This is a portrait that I am struggling with. I don't seem to be 'capturing' her, there is something missing that I cannot put my finger on.

I have thought carefully about her characteristics, which are that she tends to hold her mouth at an angle and lift the eyebrow above at the same time.

She seem to have somehow lost her youthfulness in the painting.

I have tidied up her hair at her request.

It is, of course unfinished in a few areas. I feel that I have to be satisfied with her face before I move on to the other areas.

Can anybody guide me as to where I am going wrong?

I have attached the reference photograph.

Thank you,
Barbara
