Some you win , Some you lose....
Not a total disaster as there is a lot I like about this one. I really should have paid more attention to the drawing as I've aged her a touch, but I was so eager to paint it. When i took the photo I placed her in the top corner when editing, the composition of it worked so I went with it in the painting as well. I thought to have her hair trailing longer on the viewers left as well and was really pleased with how the colours worked, becoming softer as her curls tumbled down. .
So what was I not happy with?..well, I wasn't too happy with the hair overall. I lost concentration and hey presto mud happened :(. Having said that, I did learn so much from this, and no painting is ever a waste of time, it's just part of the Journey.
I have started another one, totally different colours this time as well. Will take it a step at a time on the hair as well.

Well ,I don't see mud here , but a beautiful face..but I suppose that what you had in mind is different? I admire your work.
Very beautiful work. Love all the colors in the face. The way you do skin tones is lovely.
