This is exquisite. I love the ways in which you intensified and added vibrance to her eyes - they are positively smoldering with energy in your painting. Interesting discussion about the online class, the painting you shared for the exercise in that class is really awesome!
Much love - Carl
Hello Carl, thank you for the thoughtful comments, they made me smile! Both of those paintings did take me a long time. The portrait of the girl (the teacher's daughter) also took many visits, and I think I managed to finish it after about 60 hours.
