Well, she's quite a character, well done Malcolm. If you wanted any suggestion I would say it's the teeth that need some adjusting possibly shading the teeth in the corners to give shape and form?

Thank you Heather, I shall do that. I knew that something was a bit off but couldn't quite figure out what

Very skilfully painted with a good realistic portrayal of age and exuberance. Agree with Heather about the teeth but nevertheless it is a lovely portrait Malcolm.

Logic would suggest that painting a portrait of an older lady should be the same as painting a portrait of an older man... I didn't find it so, much more difficult for me. Coloured pencils on Bristol Board
