Master Study - the milkmaid

I've been wanting to do a master study for a while and the topic came up in a discussion at work. I saw this Vermeer while I was on vacation and was amazed at how vibrant the colors were. No reproduction can match the original oils (as with any painting). The detail on the bread alone held my attention for quite some time.
I'm trying to do this painting like digitally like a real painting, no transforms no undo's just paint. I'm also recording this one, so I'll probably post a process vid at some point.
