In the first session today, I added some form to the left of the garment. It may not be at the finished stage yet, but I shall leave it for now.

The colour of this shot more closely resembles the actual colour of the painting, whereas, in the one below, I feel that it appears a little lighter than in actuality.
I will also adjust the angles on the arm, which at present does not appear to be in scale.

In the second session for today, I added some background texture and colour. As I want to accentuate the feeling of movement, the background will only be in suggestion form, and not in full focus. The warm tones are the bricks of a wall belonging to a building at the side of the canal in Venice. The green tones are fabric on the side of the gondola in which we were travelling. There will be a little more refinement to the definition of these areas, but not enough to be in focus. The angle of the smudges of colour suggest a movement to the right of the painting.
