Thanks guys for the heads-up!
I'd like to add that these two figures and the Van Der Weyden are the first in our new Museum Series FLATZ dedicated to the classic paintings by the Old Masters.
The first two FLATZ are based on two woodblock prints by Kitagawa UTAMARO (1753-1806) famous for his studies of women (bijinga).
The third one (a.k.a. Angelina Jolie on pF) is inspired by the 'Portrait Of A Lady' by Rogier Van Der Weyden (1400-1464), the leading Dutch master of the mid-fifteenth century.
Cheers,
Quang

All are well rendered Quang, but the idea of the translucent drapery on the last figure makes for a fantastic painting challenge!

Hello Jay,
The transparent effect is easier to achieve than most people think.
At first, paint continuously as if there's NO transparent layer, using the background colour. The transparent layer is gradually built up by adding zinc white to the background colour and adding layer after layer until you're satisfied with the overall effect.
Of course, in cases like these (where the figures are based on original paintings), the same original painting will give you an excellent example of what should be achieved.
It's a great opportunity to study and emulate the techniques of the master and I admit that I've learned quite a few tricks while doing the Van Der Weyden flatz.
