The figure is very good and a really good choice for skin tones but I do feel there ought to be more contrast between the figure and the background as she seems to disapear into the sunset but a very pleasing painting all in all!

Re: Sunsetlady
I agree with Trevors that something is missing. Good job on the drawing.

Re: Sunsetlady
A striking use of colour Hans which makes for an attention grabbing work. Excellent

Re: Sunsetlady
nice work Hans, though I find the hair colour a bit discordant with the rest of the painting, and could stand a little more shade.
