I must be NUTS!

WetCanvas has these, I guess challenges, every month called MAPS,Masters’ Acrylic Painting Studies , this month it is Jules Cheret.
So being slightly crazy, I went looking for inspiration and found this one. I just loved her attitude and thought, hey why not try?
So, very nervously, I drew the lady out on paper (took me forever..lol) and cut her out, then lightly traced her on an 8x10 canvas panel.


Then I painted a creamy yellow background around her and did the word JOB in scarlet, so far so good

Next the very dark blue with the lighter blue edges and the smoke around her face and head, pretty happy with it so far.


Of course now that I have gotten this far, I have to complete it right? I am so scared to start the lady! There are so many shadows in her dress, and how the heck do I get flesh color and how on earth will I do her face and hands???
WHAT WAS I THINKING!! Stay tuned for either the finish or a total failure...lol
