This is another paintover on top of a previous unloved painting. The main thing I changed here relative to the reference photo was to make the background colorful and abstract. I mocked it up in procreate first to see how the colors were working. To bring some of that background color into the figure, I added a turquoise layer on top and then brought the opacity down to just a few percent. So the colors in her skin got slightly bluer. All with the intention of integrating figure and background.
Thank you to Zahra Babaei on the Museum app for the lovely reference photo. This is 6x8" oil paint on mdf panel.
Here are some process images:
