I start every drawing the a detailed cartoon transferred onto the paper, then the gold leaf is laid down. The drawing needs to be perfect at this stage because I won't be able to move the gold around once the drawing gets started.

I decided on the magenta color. Venetian red is just too orange for a nice dress color.

New Figure painting. I'm still deciding between dress colors, earthy red or magenta.

I might darken the yellow dress a little bit in places once the paint dries, but for now I think it's finished.

Thank you as always Emily!
