I see you learned a technique I did the hard way years back in how to make white look "whiter" than the paper.I am speaking about her eyes and reflections on lips and nose.Lovely.
Artist Reply: I have a confession to make... I used photoshop to highlight just does areas... Sorry...
All of your portraits are delicately skilled. I really enjoy them all , but this one is the best for its depth and personality. Well done! Great portfolio! Hope you get to study someplace fantastic!
