I see some experience coming out in this work. The roll into oils will take some canvas - miles of canvas - is the old term to get a feel for the brush and knife. Thumbs you have used in pastels!

I sound like a broken record I know, but I think painting a couple of red/ green apples from life is a great warm-up. I believe working from life will show you how the colors unify (swap about) as Mark Twain used to say. The edge on the lighted shoulder is one of the best I've seen!
