"Hi I am David Clemen on behalf of Expert Village and today we are going to paint with acrylics the female figure. Okay today we have got our accessories and really all we have to do with the figure is bring in the hair and it looks like her hair is pulled back in a bun very slick so I am just going to come in here and bring it back very slick like and then you can bring in the shape of the head and the bun, wrap this around like this. I might take one of these other brushes and just do a dip of white on a very stiff brush and then come in and do highlights to show that it has been pulled back as well as a small highlight in the bun just to give it some depth and that is how you are going to do the hair on this piece."
