Ilaria,
Thank you so much for the informative critique.

I have had much trouble trying to decide on background colors. Its been a stumbling block for me for sure. I was hoping I could find a thread in this forum that dealt with that issue. As it is, I think I may start a thread to see how others tackle the problem.

I did notice the eyes were too large after all was said and done. I think your suggestion of painting the face over again is a good one. Hopefully there is not a build up of paint there to make it difficult. I knew something was wrong but I couldn't put my finger on it. Now, with your help and your photoshop pointers, I can see.

As far as what happened, I'm not sure. I think sometimes I just look at my painting too long and then I can't judge where the problem is, or even what I'm doing. I will use your suggestion of looking at both the photo and the painting side by side. I have done that in the past and I didn't get around to doing it with this one until after I had posted it.

Thank you for your encouragement. I will post the corrections when they are done.

Dianne
