Shawn, Betsy, and Angel
Carolyn, again thank you for your kind words. Do you have any other work posted than your artist from Belgium? I'd like to see more, please point me in the right direction.
Now Steven, You're right about the black, I've been kicking myself since I did it. I'll go with your suggestion and keep lightening with the deep red tones until it works again. I was thinking of adding purple reflections or maybe just wrap her hair around her lower face!!! Her nose--I put some paint there that I shouldn't have. I'll be fixing it, definately b/4 she sees it! She looks like a retired boxer.
I have more work to do on her eyes (baby Angel). I always save them for last, kinda dessert. Thanks for the tip about highlights, I'll tone them down. On Mom's lower legs--they're only blocked in at this point, no real shading to add depth. I'll keep your point in mind when I get there (probably tonight). Do you have any work posted here outside of your son's portrait? If not- why are YOU so reticent??? And last, I sincerely appreciate the critique and compliments. Thank you.
