Oil on 2 ft x 2 ft HDF board. Oil paints used: Gamblin and Michael Harding Solvents/Mediums: Gamsol only thus far. 2 hour progress tonight. Progress shots 1 and 2 about a week apart. 2 hours tonight on my father’s face. Did not pay attention to how long I worked on the base of myself but it was probably around the same amount of time. I would strongly prefer not to stop my father’s face at this moment because given the way I am painting it (not layered, but rather in blocks and shapes alla prima) it is truly best to finish it all at the same time or use a drying retardant medium. These are lessons I will take away for next time :). However, I have a headache so this may be all for tonight. Or at least for a bit.
Please forgive the so-so lighting as I am without editing software temporarily.
