Sheine Mae - Stage Four

Here, I had more-or-less completed all the background detail. I prefer to leave the main subject untill last, so that it stands out more from the rest of the painting. Also, because I tend to use a lot of fixative between layers, if I leave the final layers of the main subject until towards the end, they will end up with less fixative - or even none at all. With less, or no fixative in the final layers, the main subject will remain much brighter than the rest of the painting.
