Jeane Leone Gerome-Bachi Bouzouk negre
After a long abscence from the easel, I thought the best way to get back in "painting" mode, is to copy a master. I chose my favorite Jean Leone Gerome and did this portrait of his Bachi-Bouzouk negre.
This last color image was taken March 25th and I have continued to refine. Currently I am cleaning up the hat and "am about to loose my mind with all the strings Gerome has so masterfully painted. They are so thinly done that I am working with a mini brush (reserved for miniature painting). If any of you have suggestions how to handle these fine lines easier, I will take note.

Dear Enzie,
This is indeed coming along nicely!
For those tiny lines, I don't think there is a brush small enough to paint them positively. Try painting them in a negative fashion, laying down a thin line with a small brush, then carving away long both sides of the line with the adjacent color. I alwyas have to do this when I am painting tiny lines, like the crease of the eyelid, etc.
Nice to see you-

I agree, and can't wait to see the finish.
