I like your piece, particularly the loose colours. It has a tender quality.
Two problem areas, imho--in the lower part of her body, the abdomen and hips are too compressed. She needs more fullness. Both legs start too high, partic. her right one. The neck needs more modelling, too. It seems to dip in like a hollow, rather than curve around and down. One last thing-a hint I came across one day that helps pictures from going dull. Whenever black is used in a painting there needs to be some distinct white, even if its just touches, to keep the darks & lights balanced. Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule, but I've found that pointer seems to keep the energy happening in painting.
Anyway...its still a lovely nude. I'd like to see more of your work.
