I'm not the texture brushes master, but I think you're going on the right way!I still feel that you're kind of overusing it, the texture must add to the composition, I mean I'd use it to call attention to my focal point, by combining its texture with a traditional painting over it! The way you used it is kind of distracting I tend to look the the left brush strokes behind her eventhough I shouldn't, but it's a great study and your painting skills are really good!
Keep up the good work!
