Hi David, you have some interesting concepts in here! You might want to also experiment with brushes that have harder edges (or try less blending) to sharpen up your paintings a bit. Painter is a great program, with a ridiculous amount of interesting brushes to try. I’ve the acrylic wet detail brush is my favourite currently. Keep experimenting!

Aviva: Thank you so much for the feedback.
You and Gary have reason with the sugestions and advises, this year is my first attempt to work in Painter, I’ve been a bit lazy to do something serious in this, but is time to starting to do it, I’ll be playing more with this because finally I found that is something that I like to do, Regards.

hi Stridiggio,
It’s going the right way :slight_smile: Your images still lack sharpness but colors are looking good. The lady from your 08-12-09 post (with flowers) looked better value-wise before updating- present version has too much black and near-black greys in it.

cheers!
Sebastian

SebastianZ: thank you the comment, I agree :thumbsup: with it!.

 For now I'm changing all the concept for this personal work, also now I changed the face since this was one overpaint or "Photomanipulation", but after read the topic of [Robert Chang here](http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=166&t=461830) about the use of references,...I did my own face with the reference but the face changed a lot to me and now doesn't look like the original ref (I'll be posting it later). 
 
 About Hard Brushes is the last thing which I usually work with, sometimes.
