Girl's Portrait Study Phase III

I've worked on the dress pattern trying to frame the face, but not to overdo. At this stage I've only placed two washes on the girls face to distinguish the shadow side and part that's on the sun. There are more washes to the face to come as more contrast is needed. The common practice shows that when painting a sunny day you would have a difference 40% between shade and sunny side. So I have to remember to exaggerate the shadow side when painting(plus remembering that watercolors dry at least 30% lighter).

The first touch of girl's hair shows the Blond; but I will need to work towards the Redish Blond to match the model's personality.
