Fishing Brothers

[Patti Del Checcolo]

I just joined this great site and look forward to help I see you offering others. I've been painting about 2 years and this is the first commission I have taken. I have another 4 weeks before I have to deliver and would really appreciate any suggestions for improving. Have a really bad reference photo to work from and should have listened to advice given here about insisting on a better one. They are two separate black and whites, (I'll attach) and the Dad helped me with the flesh colors and the clothing. This is a surprise for his wife for Christmas and I would like it to be special for her.

Thanks for your help.
