Photo Study 13- Ancient Queen

Another photo study.
Aim to learn the lighting, semi transparent dress, gold and shinning material.
Also tried to paint this without a line sketch and jump straight into the colors. Quite like this method of painting but find it to be a little slower as i need to keep on redefining all the small details.. but on the other hand, more fun.. haha..

Ps. didn't paint the necklace as it is taking too long for this study.. haha
