I like this one as well.
I like the pastels on the pastel board. It gives the piece a wonderful texture.
Your use of minimal colors really causes them to pop in my opinion.
The only thing is her eyes are a little odd.
Great piece, a pleasure to view. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Jesuel thanks for sharing this very beautiful artwork. So much detail and so delicately produced with much focus on the gown and the veil. Beautiful work, combined with pleasing soft colour tones which are most appealing to the eye. The highlights on her face work well and give a sense of mystification to artwork. The adornments on her hat are superbly created . I like that background earth colour on the left top corner.. It highlights the beautiful lady's softer toned headgear.
thanks for sharing your artwork. A pleasure to review. cheers mel

What a pretty portrait Audrey Hepburn. The resemblance and proportions are well done. The shading in the lace, dress, and hat are done with care. The colors are all harmonious. Love the pink and purple flower in the hat.

Hi, jesuel. You are improving with each piece! I just want to mention that something is missing in the faces of these women. It is like a doll's rather than a woman's. It is really difficult doing human faces. Especially if the canvas is small. In this case, I think it is the eyes. Please compare the right to the left eye. The left eye is more developed and has thicker mascara than the other. I think you should add a glint of white to the right eye like you did for the left one. I remember one time spending seven hours just on a woman's facial features. You did a good job. It took me awhile to figure out the unease I had and determine that the unease was with the eyes. Everything else is superb. Thank you for sharing and best of luck with this image

Excellent choice of subject.
An impressive, very detailed artwork rendition.
Colorful creation with excellent strokes & textures.
Good compositional style. Great overall impact!
Can we put a light reflection on the left eye?!?
Just a thought...
Thanks for sharing...

Comment from Denise B
you are really enjoying these pastels. I like the light on the dark background. Really stands out the way you are using that color of the background to show through. Neat idea. I am not crazy about her right pupil as you are looking at her. Every thing else is wonderful. Love the hat especially! I am jealous of anyone that does people.

Lovely pastel painting of Audrey Hepburn. I like the background colours you used for this, really showing her off well. Love all the detail you've shown in the clothing - all the patterns must have taken you ages! Lovely use of colour, light and shading. Very nice composition. Suzanne
