        Any medium, and WIPs (Work In Progress) shots are always very welcome.

        Let the Challenge begin!

                    Netty and Dave — Glad you like the photos.

                    Yes, I think we’d be smart to extend this challenge up into the new year, as the annual portrait swap — and the holiday season — keeps a lot of people busy during November and December. :D

                    Cheers, Lauren

                            Lulu — I’m not sure where I can post them here.

                            (any suggestions, Mods?) :confused:

                            You can PM me your email address, let me know which photos you like best, and I can email you larger versions. I think the original files are 1 to 2 MB.

                            Cheers, Lauren

                                            Great pictures Lauren. I wanted to get some portrait practice before attempting the swap portrait. so gave this one a shot.
                                            Oil on 9×12 linen. C&C welcome.
                                            I think her left eye is too big and I might rework it.

                                            C & C always welcome! :wave:

                                                    Nice work, Bhavani! :thumbsup:

                                                    Really nice palette, there! :D
                                                    I think that your skin tones are working best in the face.

                                                    If you want some C & C: Warming up the shoulders a bit to match more is something I’d recommend, and also do something about that yellowish area in the neck.

                                                    Thanks for jumping in and getting things going! :clap:

                                                        Thanks Lauren for the feedback. I appreciate it. I reworked the shoulders and neck areas and have posted an update in a new thread in the forum.
