First, I toned the linen with the average color

and value of the flesh in the light—without

highlights, half-tones or shadows.

I established the darkest dark, lightest light

and sharpest edge, and then I started putting

in the background color.

I finished the background, including the hair

and clothing, and started on the shadow pattern.

I finished the shadow pattern, halftones and

highlights, paying attention to the variety of

edges as Zorn had painted them.
