Portrait Painting from life

[info14]

Hi, Felt I have done all I can with this painting. Would welcome any thoughts and advice on this and for the future if possible. It started as a wipe out method on a white canvas using Liquin and a brown.
I made a second pass with this before adding a dark and light to the brown before adopting a Zorn Palette. The last few passes I introduced Alziron Crimson, some blue for the clothing (Local Colour) andViridian Green.
Still feel there are areas of the face , and other areas could be pushed more but am at a point where I wish to walk away for fear of losing it.(which is what started to happen towards the end.)
Definately making me think about the painting process from start to finish, mixing of colours.

Thanks in advance
Phil

Very good. To me everything seems correct. I like especially all the colours you have given the fabrics of the clothing.

Hello Birgith, thank you for your encouragement. Have left the painting alone but may add a few small reflective colours in areas and look at the lights and darks in the sitter’s right eye socket. Won t Not too much though! Best Wishes
Phil
