I’ve started work on the eyes, lips, and necklace. I still need to work on the skin tones, hair, and background–maybe I’ll start working on it tomorrow, but I have a lot of errands to run tomorrow, so I may not be able to get in any studio time.
I like the way the painting is developing. I can tell that the skin is going to be problematic. I’m not sure if I want to work wet-in-wet, which is going to be hard with quick-drying acrylics over a large area. I kind of like the dry brushed skin, but I’m not sure if it makes my lady look lizard-like. But these are the challenges I love in painting. Problems come up and you have to figure them out.
