Hi Robin
This is a beautiful painting. I love the serene atmosphere of the image. It’s lovely that you used a subtle complimentary colour scheme to have her skin tones and hair stand out more, but you made the background more neutral and less saturated which is great. I would you could push the depth of the background a bit more by making it even more neutral and less saturated. The lighting on the neck and chest read a bit lighter than what they should be, I think. I can see you defined her hair on her left side to push it back compared to her right, but maybe a bit more definition on her left side of her hair could be good, to make her overall hair read more consistently. And try to avoid using line to separate her upper eyelid from the rest of her eye socket. I struggle with this! but it does make the form read better.
Keep painting!
