White Linen
The idea here is one of "values" with layers of glazes in the shadows contrasted against the impasto in the highlights. I used a full range of transparent, translucent and opaque paints applied from washes, scumbles to thick impasto via palate knife for the white linen. It is small about 8 inches by 12 inches on board, not canvas.
I almost always paint head sizes smaller than life because they are more elegant. Hope you enjoy the work. If you have any questions I'll be happy to answer them. If you haven't gone back into my archive, please take a minute to do so.Cheers,
Painter

And the finished painting is beautiful,it has a breath of freshness, the crsip white blouse and the lustre of her pearl earrings ... so too the sketch.
I love her fine features, her full lips and the transluscence of her skin all framed by her hair and her eyes look out from the shadow of her hat...really lovely. xoxo ♡
