I took a class called "painting techniques of the old masters" last Fall and this is the old master copy that I finally finished using the "Flemish" technique. I can see some drawing errors (Note to self: Don't rush through the drawing stage of a painting), but overall I was very intrigued by the technique, even though it is very time consuming waiting for all the layers to dry. Seems easier for me to get realistic looking flesh that alla prima. Next step is to try working from my own photo. I do appreciate everyones thoughts.
