It took a lot of hours to work on for me. I tried it in oil and gouache (but this doesn't work) and finally wish to have a better likeness. Often I thought "Oh God, what are you doing to this pretty woman". But I think it's not too bad because it's quite new for me to paint a portrait. Lots of problems and things to learn on the way. Some tricks to simplify, so I left of the glasses and gave her some contact lenses. ;-)

Very interesting are also the DSFDF Portrait Swaps from Karin Yurick on YouTube.

I love the soft feel it has for your portrait x-change of DSFDF.

Happy New Year!

Very soft, and has an ethereal feel to it - quite lovely!!!
I loved your portrait that you did for the Different Strokes Challenge. Good work!! I'd love it if you'd contact me regarding an idea I had regarding the portrait challenge. Jill Polsby in California

Your portrait turned out beautiful! You did a nice job on her skin tones. The soft handling of her hair is lovely. Great job!
