Comment from Artistic Chick
After reading your notes that this was inspired by Lady Di, I then saw that indeed there were characteristics that were well captured. Her thin arms for one...when she looked too thin for a time. Her hairstyle. Even her posture with the slight hunch of her upper back and hands clasped behind her back. Her face is not real characteristic of Lady Di, but faces are so hard to do. And I think it is just fine for the style of art you've used. I notice you also captured her famous style of dress as well. Overall good job.

A very nice image for this contest. It is certainly full of reds. I like the perspective and the intensity of the color but think the vignette is a bit strong (maybe it should be in red too).

Yes you may be right. Folliwing some comments on the strong yellow being a distraction I subdued it and it looked fine however loath to upload edit as its a comp and some like the strongness. Swings and roundabout. Great review and helpful. Thank you
Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Its easier than done when criticizing water based color portraiture...
Just doing the facial profile alone is crucial phase.
An impressive artwork rendition.
Colorful creation with excellent strokes & textures.
Yes, the head is relatvely a bit heavier than the arms...
Is she a tall lady?
Good compositional style. Great overall impact!
Thanks for sharing...

Very knowledgeable remarks about watercolour. Yes the head was first too small then this result. Her arms at that angle were a challenge. I think overall she is relatively tall. A very nice review from you and much appreciated

Yes, she is in red! I like the color balance of the yellow flowers behind her, too. The turquoise adds interest and balances the red and yellow from being over done. Very nice.

Thank you fir reviewing and comments. H have been back into this to edit and try and reduce the impact of the yellow. I think it improves the whole. Not sure to upload tho as its a comp. But thanks for pointing this out. Appreciated.

Beautiful lady in an elegant red evening gown, I like her pose and the way she holds her red clutch bag behind her, this is very well rendered and arranged , the background is perfect to showcase this lady in red. Well presented!
