I like the way the yellows and greens stand out against the purple. It's really cool that you made this by painting and adding pictures, that's very creative and not something I would think of doing! The details of her face are really nice and realistic and it's interesting that you framed the more colorful pictures with the neutral colored pictures.
She's such a lovely picture!

The colors in this piece are absolutely AMAZING. I love how vivid they are.
I like the general movement and flow of this picture, you're drawn into the drastic shades of the face before the eye travels out to the headpiece.
The thing that really makes this piece for me is how the colors are all drawn from the headpiece. That really appeals to the eye.
Nice work!

Love this piece! The vibrant colors are stunning and I love how you've managed to use reds, yellows and greens in her face. You've flawlessly managed to combine the acrylic paint and the collage as well, I really love how the reds of the flower and butterfly of the collage echo the red of her cheeks. The only critique I have is that the neck looks strange to me, almost off centered.

thanks for the critique! i'm really happy with the colours too. I agree with the neck, might have to try to fix it later

It reminds me a bit of fauvism piece. Very well executed

I agree with Courtney above. Overall, I think that this makes for a very interesting media mixture, interesting AND effective. I always enjoy seeing pieces that I KNOW others would work to create in photoshop, but are actually made in conventional media.

This has a very good balance to it. The use of color in the headpiece leads the eye to move across the piece to the face in a very natural movement. Well done!

Wonderful! I really like the colors you used! I'm very interested how you made her eyes completely green, save a bit of shading, instead of making them white with green irises and black pupils.

OH thank you! I hoped they looked like the eyes were closed but I guess you can see it that way too
