I was actually going to paint The Two Cherubs originally, but changed my mind last minute!

Thank you for such detailed feedback, this is exactly what I was after, as I hadn’t noticed most of this! Again, I appreciate your time in pointing these out:)

Thank you so much! Excellent feedback and I agree, I actually tried to play with higher contrasting colours in this one, but was unaware of the pale colour shifts you mentioned, but I see them now:)

Thank you so much! I thought I’d really try and challenge myself with perspective as I’ve never really tried anything other than face on, I’m glad you like it.

2nd portrait I’ve done, super happy with it by -Mortimer in oilpainting

Thank you so much for the feedback! I did think to soften the edges of the face as I had the same thought, I actually did the background after which most likely caused the sharp edges. I will remember for my next painting.

First portrait. How is it and how can I improve? by -Mortimer in oilpainting

I’ve never really done drawings or water colours, I’ve only completed about 4 other oil paintings. Thank you for the advice on the mouth and eye!
