I am so excited for you to see your painting! Below you’ll find the reference photo, finished painting, and a few questions. Once everything is answered and we make sure you absolutely love the painting, I’ll set it aside to dry for 1-2 weeks, frame it, and then your painting is on its way to its new home!
Comments: OMGoodness! The background, hair, clothes and eyes (hands down hardest part) are all perfect!!! But something feels just a smidge off about her jaw/cheeks. It may just be seeing the painting in a photo vs IRL. But maybe a little more color in her cheek/ freckles/OR a slightly thinner/narrower cheek/jaw on the right. I am amazed as is, but I’m guessing the lighting and hair made it hard to see the lines/contours I see every day. I am 99% happy as is though, but just wanted to give feedback
Comments from Aimee: Thank you so much for your feedback. After stepping away from the canvas and coming back to it, I 100% agree!!! Check below for the alterations.
There were a few things off that led to her looking similar but not quite right. Moved the eyes slightly together, moved up the nose and lips, and slimmed the face. Brightened up a few highlights to the face and added more color. Let me know what you think below!
