Ted? Somehow the name of the painting doesn't seem to fit in with the picture! Methinks the ear got cut off in a bit of swordplay, mateys! Maybe bluebeard or something!
This painting is fabulous! My kind of eccentric clothing (see clothing subject in the cafe)! You are very talented to do this from a live model in such a short time. Even in Helen Van Wyk's video's her portrait "sketches" were not so cleverly detailed!
Don't be afraid of a photograph to adjust the painting if that's what you want. Some of us paint mostly from photos, and less from life by choice. Actually, in your case, you paint from life so well, the photos can be used just as a tool for doing some finishing work. Used in conjuction, painting from life and using photos, can be a winning combination. I think there was a recent article in Artist's Magazine about this subject by Scott Burdick.
Anyway, I'd just like to say...Well Done!!
