Alla prima portrait

Painted this portrait the other day. Any advice on how I could have dealt with the hair better?

Beautiful work!
Is the hair in the bun colored red? I have never painted strongly colored hair becuase it seems hard. But I was curious.
Actually I really like how handled the hair overall. Maybe some more highlight where it turns from the light.
Bra jobbat! ;)
Hi Marcus! I wanted to reply because I saw your post has no comments. Regarding your question, I think it's important to determine what it is you want out of the hair, and why you are looking for help with it. Does something about it stand out as problematic to you? Or do you feel it could be more successful, but you're not sure how?
Perhaps the very best thing you could do would be to look at examples of hair painted by those you admire, study them, and try to apply some of the things you like to this painting or to your next.
Overall, I think your painting is very good! Keep it up.
