More progress on Morning Paper

I’ve spent some more time working on parts of Morning Paper.  I worked on her hand and outstretched arm.  I wanted her hand to look relaxed and feminine and I feel like I got it there.  Sometimes I look at paintings of women’s hands and they look masculine, other times too dainty.  Hands are a little tricky to paint, same as teeth.  Teeth are also tricky and easy to overdo.  Lots of little parts.

I also worked on bringing out and pushing back things on the bookcase.

I just spent about an hour or so working on her shirt and made almost zero progress.  I’m trying to paint on a flower print and I don’t quite know how to do it without making it look silly.  I give it another shot tomorrow.
