Woman Ceramicist at work in her studio - WIP stages

Stages of portait of Ceramicist oil painting
This portrait was produced during May 2019 and features a ceramicist busy at work in her studio working on a stylised bust in clay.
Above can be seen four stages of the process to paint the portrait. The fist panel shows the drawing, scaled up from a posed photograph, which is done with brown acrylic paint on a yellow ochre wash (ground). Moving on, the second panel shows basic areas of colour thinly applied in oils to act as a base under-painting. This will be painted over with thicker paint with truer colours, as shown in the third panel. Detail is also added as the painting is created with more 'finished' strokes. The final panel shows the oil painting (sized at 33x 23.5”) now finished.
It can be seen in detail on this link.
