This sketchy piece has made me so happy because I feel I got her skin tones correct. Lately, I've been working on skin tones and trying to pay a lot of attention to getting just the right hue, value, etc., and - yippee - I have a good feeling about this one! Am hoping to turn this into an oil painting, but whenever I attempt such things, something is lost - will keep trying, though. Am I alone in having the problem of losing the feeling of the original when trying to move it to another medium? On Strathmore 403 oil pastel paper, about 11 x 8". Thanks so much for stopping by.

I like the drama in the pose and sense of movement. The coloring is great. I haven’t yet been able to improve upon the original sketch drawn from life. Tend to get bogged down in detail when not constrained by time.
She's beautiful Connie! Wonderful
pose..
