Last week, I took a break from working on the icon. This week, there's more to do. Most of it is monkey-work: fairly mindless and easy layers of paint to cover large flat areas such as clothing and the background. Mary gets her traditional purple garment, and baby Jesus sets the trends for the upcoming year in stunning ecru. Watch out for that colour, it's going to be big soon.
I also added Mary's coiffe, which is a shiny blue cloth that completely covers her hair. You can see it quite easily because I zoomed in today's scan to show detail.
