Still painting away on the illustrations for Abigail Spells, here is another preview of one of the paintings coming together...
This is the initial sketch, Abigail is on stage at a greatly anticipated spelling bee:

First I put down some washes to establish the color palette:

Next I started layering the color on her face and in the background:
