Pastel Portrait - Work in Progress 2

I'm not loving the background in this, my original thought was that the wall angle would add some interest but I decided to axe that and go for a simpler background.

  1. That seems like a good decision. Since the portrait is so non-traditional, maybe a calmer background would really put her in the limelight. She is wonderful!

  2. I love the happy little portrait but you're right, the background is a little distracting because my eyes want to follow the angle.

  3. Wow the colors are as effervescent as the young ladies expression that you captured perfectly!!!

  4. I like the angle, though if you keep it, maybe make the background colours closer in value, so they contrast less. This is a fantasic portrait though - very dynamic. You have really captured her smile.
