Progress

At this stage I'm just laying down lot of loose washes. Building up the background slowly. After a few washes this piece went a different direction than I expected which is kind of exciting. Certain elements, usually in the background, have flexibility for happy little accidents to happen. Establishing the dark of the hair gives a good reference for value within the painting.
