Started this painting this week – my cousin’s granddaughter. WIP, but I’d appreciate any C&C!

Beautiful – all of it… the little girl , the painting… all wow.

Painting is a complete distraction. I know of nothing which, without exhausting the body, more entirely absorbs the mind. Winston Churchill

It is a very skillful portrait. Michael!
Obviously I can’t comment on likeness without seeing the ref.
If I were to comment I would add a bit more sharpness around the features.
But if this softness overall is the effect you are going for- then it is a success!

Truly a masterful piece already IMHO. The details are so beautiful, simply breathtaking.

I think the blue highlighting her face works wonderfully! For me, this is one of those pieces where the subject and handling overshadows the methodology of creating it. When I take a second look, Im rewarded with these wonderful techniques that support the piece, not overshadow it. Looks great!
