I decided to do the warm ups in thinned oil and then rub them back and work on top. The view I had was difficult and I seemed to spend ages on the initial drawing. The feet were hard and I just couldn't get her left knee right. The paint wasn't going on as I like it to, it was sliding too much possibly because of the cheap white spirit I had used for the warm up drawings. In the end I made up her right foot up and added a shadow to suggested it was lifted off the surface. I am disappointed that today it didn't go as well as recent efforts and will start another one next week possibly on a white canvas.
