Giving Up On This One

Well, I finished it this morning but I have to say I don’t like it. I was hoping to achieve a softness and I don’t think I did. I’ve been adjusting the facial features for an hour – in the photo I’m working from, the girl has a worried look on her face and I’m trying to change it so that she looks a bit happier, or at least, less worried. The paint has become overworked though, and I’m starting to strip off yesterday’s work and muddy it. Time to give up on this one.
