Something a bit more refined: I certainly didn't make things easy, as the size of her face was around 3" x 3" so it was out with the tiny brush....

Same process and oil paints as before, but I attempted a lot more glazing after the underpainting/grissaillestage. It didn't work as well as I'd hoped, and eventually learned that I should have applied a good, solid base of colour before getting the glazing medium out.

I also abandoned the idea of a necklace. The original design saying "Liberty" was cut off during the cropping process. And again, the size of the piece was going to cause problems.

Overall size 8" x 8". 30ogsm paper.

Another portrait study using the same materials and process as last time.

An 8"x8" Acrylic grissaille underpainting, over a sketch (with gridding) followed by a lot of blending and glazing.

I'm particularly happy with the loose interpretation of the lacework on her blouse.
