The top picture is from the beginning of the class, and the bottom picture is from the end of class. I am overall happy with where I am as far as blending the different values. I'm struggling with determining how much contrast I want in the shadow of the cleavage and highlight right near the bra - line, though. Also, I keep on mixing slightly different values. I'm not sure if I want the undertones to be more maroon or peachy. I think I like peachy, just based on aesthetics. The chest area is daunting, though, because that part of the image is basically flat with nuances in shading.
Oh! After conferring with Coach Hall, I have decided to use opalescent fabric for the bra. I order it on Coach's Amazon Prime, so it should arrive in the next week or so. I am going to continue with my original plan of outlining the bra on another background and wrapping in the fabric. I will then mount the bra onto the original illustration board with the painting. I haven't even really begun to contemplate what I want for the words of the necklace chain to say, but it is non - negotiable that I include it because one of my main goals is to keep my "personal hand" in the work. I am thinking the content of the writing will relate closely to body image or outer appearances.
