work progress – paint and skin blocking in

I got a little too involved with the work today, so I missed taking a photo between the paint and skin work.
I started the paint work with black gouache on the wing spots, since they were faded from the copper coating yesterday. While I had the black out, I blocked in the bustier (back half), garters, stockings tops, and shoes. Next, I painted the facial features and blocked in the hair with various browns. Then I used a gray for the front of the bustier and added some details to the black areas. I followed that with red for the bustier cup and the panties. I considered bringing the red down into the legs and shoes, but decided to keep the bright colors around the torso and face. I added some details to the hair next, and then used white for highlighting the black areas. I completed the paint phase by coating the skin areas with the textured gesso.
Later, I started on the skin, using colored pencils and oil pastels to blend. With the painted areas masked off, it was fairly easy to cover all the areas…
