Portrait Painting Critique

Artwork by Alexandra, Old Masters Academy student

Hello again, Natalie,

Thank you so much for your previous critique. It was so helpful.

Here’s my new portrait and I would really appreciate your advice.

Portrait painting critique

I do not know how to finish it. I am not very happy with the shadows because the portrait doesn’t feel 3-dimensional; but I can’t figure out what I am doing wrong.

Could you help me?

Thank you and best regards,
Alexandra

Dear Alexandra,

Thank you for sharing your new painting with us.

This is a very good portrait and I wouldn’t change much except some small things.

In this video, I’ll give you my feedback and advice on how to improve this portrait painting:

    Dear Natalie, It’s hard to measure the impact you’ve had on my art, but I know it’s been significant.
    Waiting for your new critique videos.

    Yours sincerely, Noah

    Love how you can change little things in the portrait and it makes such a huge difference. I wish I could draw like that. I was wondering if you would have time to reply to my email, as I would like to know the computer program that you were using, it would be so much easier to use that then pencil drawing to practice.
