Woman on blanket

Alright, instead of just a head, this time I thought I would tackle the whole body.  It's not a perfect painting by any stretch, but I think its pretty good.  I had a reference picture that was black and white, so any I had to come up with all the color on my own.  I think did  a pretty good job of capturing skin color.  I will admit that she probably could use a few hours in the sun.  I think if (or when) I go back and tinker with this one, I'll add a bit more definition to her chin and neck.

The hair was difficult, because in the reference picture, she had platinum blonde hair.  I'm not sure how to paint that, so I made hers a bit dirtier blonde.  

Like always, the hands are terribly hard.  The one across her torso was a bit odd in the photo, and as such a bit odd on the painting.  A little more work and I'll get better at them.  All in all I think for a first attempt, this turned out terrific.
