Wonderful painting but with not enough information to be most helpful.

I agree with J Beerbaum in that a photo, 2 steps, and a finished painting doesn't help me much on my quest to do more portraiture. Also, I find the painting much improved if I hold my finger over the bright yellow flower on the left of the sofa, allowing my eye to stay on the beautiful subject.

Three steps... draw, underpaint, then paint. Being an artist is just that easy!

Liliedahl is a master on the portrait painting! Pity that we don't have more info about the sequence!! But its a terrific portrait! Whistler will like that white sinphony!

It'll be great to see the stages on video, just like you did with "Portrait of Victoria." Excellent tutorial, available on YouTube. Give us more like that! THX
