I worked on all the details today. I started with white acrylic paint for the hair clips, making them bright and solid against the black hair. Then I used acrylic and gouache to add color to the pieces.
Next, I used colored pencils to outline everything, and add some more details to the face. Then, I used a gray gouache wash on the blouse to deepen its shadows and bring out more detail.
Finally, I used oil pastels and colored pencils to finish the face. I believe it is completed now, but too late to scan. So, for now, here’s a quick photo of it…
