Blue eyed Girl

This was my first attempt at oils and it took me about 2 weeks to finish this portrait. I loved the reference photo as it was a good source to work from

Really great work with colour... I have difficulty with skin in colour.

Artist Reply: Hello! Thanx so much for commenting! I did most of the skin toning with my fingers as I thought the brushes made it look harsh and rigid, I am always very dirty after a painting session! Thanx for looking, much appreciated!
