Beautiful likeness and pose. The skin tones look lovely with that ivory feel to them, and you handled the feather boa extremely well. You captured the playfulness perfectly! Instant

My pleasure! I'm still amazed at the smoothness you were able to achieve with the paints. Especially on something as intricate as feathers. I hope you'll do more such beautiful portraits!

Love it Em! Beautiful boa! There is always something new to challenge yourself with and you have certainly mastered feathers now. Maybe feet will follow....xx One of your best pieces yet! Truly enviable.
