'Jo' next stage

I could only spend a couple of hours this afternoon on 'Jo' but I managed to get quite a lot done. I think it's paid off doing the prep and making the preliminary drawings. I've been able to resolve certain drawing issues before I began painting, so it's helped me to capture a more accurate depiction quicker and, avoid getting to a 'wipe off' situation! I quite like the landscape format for portraits as it allows more space around the subject.
