I have added some subtle lighter tones on to the dress in the foreground. They are not the final tones or exact shapes yet but give me a feel for the fabric folds. One advantage of life drawing, is that you can get a 'feel' for how fabric falls over a body. This needs to look correct for it to have authority in this type of work. It is many years since I did life drawing and, my wife and I have discussed the intention to repeat the training. The apron has been blocked in but is not readily obvious as more shades and tones are to be added, along with a suggestion of seams and creases. I will need to adjust the bust line of the lady in the foreground, which is a little high at the top and also the exposed part of her arm at the top is not yet quite right so as to please me. A little work also on the table has been added.
