This is the piece after a background was added. I wet the background and used cobalt on the entire area (varying the value some) and dropped in rose and aureolin. Decide on a light or dark background depending on your painting and what's needed. I added the 'gathering' near the top of her dress and some shadows with cobalt. I worked on rounding her shoulder and it will need a glaze in the area. I wet the apron tie and used purple for some shadows. It will need more work. I worked a little on her ear. |
