I like this very much. Can’t comment about acrylics, I don’t have enough experience, but they’ve worked well for you here.

Me, I much prefer oils but I like this portrait a lot ... something in those eyes for sure.

Nicely done Jillian.

A super portrait in my opinion.

This is a,very powerful portrait full of feeling. The modelling is excellent. It really stands out in relief. I much prefer oils to acrylic. Especially in portraiture. There are things that I can still make decent in acrylic when im painting landscape but for portraiture I almost always use oils. I very much doubt I could have achieved in acrylic what you have here.

Playing with acrylics. Not enjoying them as much as oils. Maybe because they are not as slippery … colours not as vibrant …. Would love to hear what you think
