The stupid digital camera I have tends to wash out (fade out) the more subtle colors in these photos taken of my art, but hopefully you'll get the idea.
The young woman in the painting is hardly the model type. I was going for an average girl, the type you might encounter in an art class, serious and passionate about her art and her life. I hope I was able to get this effect right.
Please let me know and be honest. Thank you.

(You may want to click on the image to enlarge it. Also, the first two in the same series are in this same photo gallery.)

If you look closely you'll see the third leg of the easel (mostly hidden by the edge of the window frame). Also, her foreamr might semm a little larger to you because it is in the foreground and all objects in the foreground seem larger and get smaller as your eye moves backwards. The hand holding the brush is the closest object towards us.

Very nice portrait. Shame it isn't somebody real. I suspect (call it an educated guess) it would have turned out even better if you actually painted somebody that IS that person you describe.
The subtlety of your colors do show but have the same problem with digital camera's, they never show the true colors.
I recon you would hang the whole series of paintings on a single wall (preferably). What would be the order?
I like it very much...but still waiting to see the whole thing. I still see the entire series as ONE piece of art.

good depth( foreground middleground background), nice how you show both windows. Everything looks proportional except for that forward hand holding the brush, is a little big. The cobblestones look nice. Also, the easel looks like it might fall over (its not clear how its standing up like that) -
So, maybe add another leg at the left side on the side facing the back window even though it doesn't exist in real life.
Otherwise, she doe look like the average, serious, art student. Good job!
