Er, did I say this just needed a few tweaks here and there and it would be finished? How foolhardy of me! Once I got back to it again I could see there was so much to do. I am always afraid of overworking a piece but this really needed more colour, blending and attention to detail. I've used cotton buds to blend the colours and it has a painterly look now, easier to achieve on this Colourfix sanded paper I think.
I think it really is just about finished now although I really must revisit that chest area. It looks like I've given the poor girl a broken collar bone ...oh and a nasty looking boil in that area too! (Sorry Rachael!). All the flaws show up so clearly when the pic is uploaded. I suppose that's a good thing ... groan. Will remedy them post haste.

Janet, you're funny. But I know what you mean about tweaking - sometimes you think the piece will never be finished! But this is lovely so far.
