July 10 post continued

Well the painting continues. Please refer to the July 10,2010 post for earlier stages.

At this point the the underpainting is finished and the initial shadow glazes and build-up of opaque paint has started.
The figure is coming along with the face being developed the most. As the focal point, I want to make sure the face works before spending effort refining the background. Three views are posted for those of you interested in the details. Each image is clickable for a larger size.
Specific questions about any aspect of this work will be answered.
