sktchy

                               7x11

A friend of mine says he can tell when I start to get a little tired of a subject. I kinda felt on this one a little lack of commitment ...
I had trouble "finding" enough planes to create interest, which just means the lighting wasn't dramatic enough for me. But also the very thing that attracted me to this face--its smoothness and openness--made it not a great subject, for me, anyway.

Doesn’t sound like much of a friend when he’s so critical. Anyway, I like her eyes a lot. And I guess that baby smoothness is a challenge, but I think you’ve captured it well. Do the models ask to see you work? Just curious (he said while striking a profile)

Yes, how do I put with him! ;-)
I painted it from a photo on the website/app Sktchy, where people from all over the owrld post photos that you can paint.
If I weren't so lazy, I could post this to Sktchy and then maybe the subject might see it ...
