I find it hard to get any details on velvet, I think it is more the suggestion of shape than actually providing details. I wasn't able to sketch on the velvet as I normally do on canvas. I tried sketching with a white colored pencil, but it didn't really help things so I just free-handed as best as I could. Maybe I should use chalk? This is a pretty ugly wahine. If nudity is not allowed, please let me know and I'll take it down. Velvet adhesive-spayed to a piece of bristol board, final size 8x10 (you can make out the edge if looking hard enough). I think I know why most folks use oils on velvet, it was really limiting to try to blend with acrylics and try not to clot up the velvet.
