Oil Painting lesson with Gregory Smith

Her left shoulder was too high and right one was too big, so I trimmed these. The base just under her body was also too big. It’s amazing how I didn’t see these until now. 

Then I widened her neck, enlarged her ear. The whole impression was too cold, so I warmed it up a bit. 

I spent the rest of the session fine-tuning her face and hair, trying not to lose the big structure. 

I’ll do one more session next week. 

Work in progress.
