Portrait of a lady in green

Create a light sketch outlining the basic shapes and proportions of the figure, focusing on the head, shoulders, and hands.

Block in the background with a thin layer of the dominant red-brown color.

Establish the main areas of color for the face, dress, and headpiece, using thin washes of paint.

Begin building up the skin tones with subtle layers of color, paying attention to highlights and shadows.

Develop the details of the dress, including the folds, textures, and decorative elements.

Refine the features of the face, focusing on the eyes, nose, and mouth.

Add the details of the jewelry and headpiece, using small brushes to create intricate patterns.

Make final adjustments to the values and colors to create a sense of depth and realism.
