Oil Painting Portrait Workshop at Victorian Artists Society - Day 2

I'm reasonably happy with this one.
There's more variety of tones on her skin, although it doesn't show much in the photo below.
I love the way Barbara gives me suggestions. Like, cool vs warm tones, greying background, unity of colours in the painting, etc.
I see a great improvement straight way.
I'd like to put much thicker paints once I get more confident.
