Portrait in oil.

[Francisco Frutuoso]

[Marcolino Estuardo]

Love the blue. Is this inspired by Picasso’s ‘Blue Period’ paintings?

Only critiques I have are: Think of a cylinder/barrel form for the mouth. Lips are never just ‘straight/flat’ on the face.

And, for the cast shadow down the neck and collarbone, observe the form it’s hitting. There should be some definite rhythms following the shapes of the neck and whatever folds the clothing may have.

Good job.

Lovely painting  Francisco the highlighted left eye really draw me in. Its possibly the digital image ,but maybe the shadow on neck and left face could be little  softer ,also a little more bounced light under her chin .

Maybe you could bring a little of the beautiful  dusky pink up into the head and background and some cools/blues  down into the blouse , really minor touches to what is a lovely portrait lots of expression and life
