Critique Given:

Both look watercolor-y

More contrast than original
Should be more hard edges
Chest area is more successful
Face in mine is better, background texture is more successful, more of the figure in mine whereas it, in original, gets lost in the background, dress shape is better than original

Texture Painting

The objective of this exercise was to either replicate, or replicate the impression of given textures. The critique that mine received mainly commented that I needed more hard lines and slight variety in brush shapes to add to the authenticity and contrast.
