This is about 5 or 6 more hours of work since my last post. The tube of paint is Old Holland (my favorite brand, though I can't afford many of their colors, some are up to $70 for that size tube!). Cremnitz white is the color, an affordable color but one I need to not be sloppy about since it is a lead paint. There are many other kinds of whites out there, but none as lovely as cremitz white for my style of painting.
I like how you're giving us a concept of the time you're putting into this portrait. And it's amazing how much of a difference there is already between this and the basic sketch--there's so much more life in it now!

Lovely!
