Ruth - stage 3

I made a start today in getting some basic shapes into the dress including just one black line to run through it and out of the figure to emerge as a gold line over the hair - I want a link between the figure and background. I have been experimenting with mixing the bronze powders with oil paint and/or Liquin as it produces a richer metallic lustre than conventional gold oil paint and one can easily control the colour and lustre by varying the quantities of powder to paint.
