It really helps to do a color value sketch before doing a painting. This is a detail of bracelets for a larger portrait. I needed to practice the most detailed and difficult section of the painting before putting oil to canvas. The bracelets and their reflection I felt would give me the most trouble and I wanted to practice the reflection especially. Several sketches, value studies and color sketches help you concentrate on painting once you have the overall values, composition and difficult areas well regulated. I will work on the reflection again before I begin the oil painting and I will do an overall sketch of the entire portrait.
