After working a bit more on the Chinese-white coated versions, I have abandoned them - too heavy of a coating made all the subsequent layers chalky and blotchy-
So I started yet *another* one on hot press, with a much lighter initial coat of Chinese white -
(ah - the misleading nature of photo-flash...) - Here is the new one - which does look more 'done' in person- although I still have about 25% left to go...
And this one is direct painting onto hot press - which after another 25% I will then go on to the oil-wash stage.I hope to be able to make more progress on her variations, but the next 4 fairy-horse books start up shortly and I also need to do some serious work on the IMC sketch.
I also will be off line and not working much for the next little while (I go in to have some surgery tomorrow morning). See you when I am once again coherent.

I love seeing how different the variations are. its neat to see the difference between them :)
Love the seeing the different versions. it's always interesting to see your work. My continued prayers for a fast recovery from your surgery. Take easy and rest while you can.
Take care, Tara! I always find that recovery from the anesthesia is the worst part! :)
Sending healing energy....
Homeopathic Arnica before and after( for a few days) the surgery can speed healing tremendously. WIPs are SO interesting!
Loving watching you do this! :)
Hope you have a speedy recovery from your surgery. Rest and take things easy ;) x
As a non-artist this looks and sounds like a LOT of work.
Hope the surgery goes well.
Best wishes on your surgery. It's always a teensy bit scary even if you know it's 'nothing'.
Enjoy the rest!
the last Baba is my favorite....so far.
