This detail is well over actual size.
I took the shot in raking light to show the paint texture. It's actually not very textural-appearing in actual life.
This doesn't qualify as a "portrait," although is certainly a likeness of my model -- a very close likeness.

I end the series with this extreme close-up of a hand, again taken in raking light.
I will now let the painting sit for a month, out of sight, and then get a nice fresh-eyed look at it and probably change some stuff.
I always do.

What is ABS and where do I find it?
Googling ABS turns up a scary array of choices - none of which appear to be appropriate. Who knew "ABS" could stand for so many things?

ABS = acrylonitrile butadiene styrene.
An industrial plastic.
I buy a 1/16" thick white sheet of this material, glue it to plywood using countertop cement, sand it until it looks like a lovely piece of matte ivory, and paint away. No priming necessary. It is archival.
A great alternative is to buy a gesso panel here. http://www.realgesso.com/
These panels are primed with gesso -- not the acrylic stuff, but the real thing.
