"portrait of emily anne" oil on canvas 16x 20



i struggled a lot with this painting, i was really rusty. it took me sometime to get used to the medium again but i do feel this painting was good practice. i'm not completely happy with it but i'm hoping the next one turns out better.

Malaka the paintign looks pretty good. I think you need to sharpen her face a little on the left side on the cheek also you might add soem color ont he grey background to make it more lively and on the bottom part I would just drip soem paint or make it a little more loose also push the darks a little. Thats what I think man you should definately do some more oils after two or three more you ll be kicking Corys ass. hahahaha Peace man good job
