Impressive portrait!
Very realistic.
Fine attention to details:
Expressive glowing eyes.
Bushy brows.
Cute nose & lips.
Nice ear.
The hair textures with the curls & tendrils are beautifully rendered.
Great skintone.
Meticulous fine blue checks of her dress. How did you sketch that?!?
Good mossy green shaded backdrop.
Thanks for sharing...

A beautiful girl. She looks very young, just leaving her childhood behind while entering adolescence. She has an very captivating smile and expressive eyes. You have painted her patriot beautifully natural the skin tone with highlights and shade seems perfect. I cannot see anything technically wrong. I like her unruly hair which seems to add the reality of a moment in time as does the look over the shoulder and the background predicting an outside location. This portrait has nothing of posing, but looks beautifully natural

Brilliant. Just love the eyes, oh the eyes, and the perfect smile.

You have captured the beauty of this young woman so very well.

The colors you picked were super. The blue blouse seems to bring out the darkness of here eyes. The muted gray/green background accentuated the color in her face. Her curly hair seems to add peace to the scent.

Very nice indeed.

Beautiful. Simply beautiful. The smile is a Mona Lisa smile, but it's perfect for this little girl. The artistry is perfect. Great work, great talent, and a perfect pick for a first.

    Thank you Christine, you just gave me a new concept to think about "capturing the being/essence of a subject", I think it's very important:))

I think your picture of Maria Sofia is just simply devine. Love the colours you have used to create this watercolour and the gorgeous dark hair. You have done a wonderful job and should be proud of yourself :) thank you for sharing.

Really nice and impressive watercolor. Love the soft colors you used and the dark, soft wisps of hair, framing the face! Very nice highlights and shadowing. Very talented work! Thanks for sharing!......L
