Beautiful! Nice color harmony!

What colors have you used in her lovely hair?

Re: wip..Lucinda

It looks great right now! You have such a nice way with paint.
I'm sure you will eventually adjust it- to soften the narrow line under her jaw into the form.

Re: wip..Lucinda

All this in two sittings only? You sure have mastered the basics of laying a portrait foundation. There is more luscious sensuality here than I have the confidence to discuss. None of my business of course, but is she by any chance a blood relative? There is a strong suggestion of nymphet Larubia at age 13 here. I mean, taking into account your self-portraits and... well, you get my drift.

I love it Larubia! I know you want all the hair in and it's hard composing with long hair, but scrolling up a bit, I'd almost be tempted to crop it. I'm not sure that the bottom part works.
