W is coming along very nicely, the shape of her face, her eye color, teeth, everything – I am very pleased. (You like, J?) It’s like I had painted this piece so much in my head that it’s painting itself now! I am on about my 3rd layer on her face and neck skintones, and have probably one more, just enhancements to what is already here. Her forehead and brow area are far enough along that I roughed in her bangs, deepened her hairline and started working on her hair a bit.

Her shirt is “finished” right now. I do not anticipate having to make any revisions to it, it’s a beautiful warm chocolate color and the highlights of the fabric turned out beautifully.

Her arms look pretty pale against the rest of her now, huh? I will work on her arms next, after her shirt dries (probably Wednesday), and once she is complete I will work on the cats (the whole background/foreground layer thing). Anyhoo, this will be my last work in progress until Wednesday I’m guessing, and I’ll stop in tomorrow morning and update before I head to the hopsipsal! (yes, that’s how the girls say it!)

Have a great night!!
