Wow, Mike, these are terrific. So nice of you to show this progression. They remind me of John Howard Sanden's demos in his book, "Portrait Painting from Life in 29 Steps."

Mike,

Great job on this. If you could venture a guess, at what point in time within the three hours were you satisfied with the drawing and began to apply paint in earnest?

Mike, this is wonderful! I really like the freshness and charm of this well drawn piece.

The way to make it more "finished", should you decide to do this, is to wait until the paint is dry and go over and "tighten" some more in another life session. Have you ever done this with a head painted from life? I think you would really enjoy doing this.
