But the more I used them the more little things I picked up. Right now I am learning how to glaze and it really does make it easier. I have used the acrylics and they drive me batty because they dry to soon for me. But this painting that you have done is beautiful. The way you put your colors together are so attractive and the scene as a whole is "real". I can imagine seeing this woman looking just like that on a street just like that. Its wonderful.

Well done for finishing it, I have so many unfinished pictures around me :-( I also struggle with oils on a large scale and not sure I will overcome it.
