You've achieved a great sense of luminosity with the thinned down paint though. Really great piece!

good to see work like this. The softnes of contour draws me to this; thought the thumbnail was of a pastel study. Quite remarkable.

Very nice, I think the wide brushstrokes evoke a sort of strength, as if you're headstrong.

Top quality...
Very wonderful sense of reality and variation. delicate transitions.
Great edge-quality, especially.
Do your instructors support harder edges, or varied ones such as this?
