Another Painted Face

I decided to try acrylics painting once more with the extender medium 
I bought today. I can see lots of things wrong with this, but I will keep 
plugging away till I catch on to this technique. I guess this is a WIP. 
This is also for the Paint Party Friday challenge just as my other entry.

    Faye I think she is coming along beautifully... and I love extender with acrylics... it gives you so much more time to get the blending just right... I can't wait to see how this turns out once it is finished...xx

    Lovely! And I think she really resembles her author, especially through the eyes and brows. Wonderful color.

    I love painting faces, but I mainly do it well with pastels. This is lovely.

    Faye, she is so lovely! Anything that you see wrong isn't there for me when I look at her. Maybe you are being to hard on yourself.

    i think she's lovely and I like the background very much. I like the idea of an extender for acrylics as they do dry very quickly - often on the palette before I get a chance to use it all!!

    Working with acrylic has its advantages and disadvantages, dries fast so you have to know very well what you want, is odorless and easy to clean, I think you're doing very well the girl's face and looks great. Saludos

    I think she is lovely Faye. I do hope you keep plugging away. Acrylics are difficult not only from the drying fast side of things. It takes practice. Beautiful!!

    Wow..she is brilliant..beautiful and so very special Faye! not only do I love her, I also love the energy and color palette of the backdrop..all those gorgeous green-blues and turquoise melding together and with the gold highlights..stunning! She has strong and gentle eyes..and I love the shape and shadow of her hair! I feel like she knows something powerful..something potent about her gaze!

    Hi Faye, she is so serene and pretty. Maybe if you give her a name, she will become real to you and you will like her more! I don't think there is anything wrong with her! Patsy from
