Carnevale - stages 1 and 2

Something simpler than the last picture, a naked woman wearing a Carnival mask stands in the water of the Venice Lagoon...this is possible as most of the lagoon is only three feet deep....although not actually at this spot if truth were to be told - hey it's a fantasy OK? The lovely Naomi Wood is again the model. Stage 2 just shows the colour underpainting and looks unduly simple at the moment, bear with me as it will be a lot darker and moodier than it looks here.
It was first "drawn" up with an old brush using a mix of Burnt Sienna and Dioxazine Violet thinned with Liquin and then a tonal underpainting was painted with the same paint mix but thinned with turpentine and applied with a rag and brush.
