Hi Tony
Thanks for the informations,unfortunately I cannot get this book ...but I've seen many details in Sargent's paintings where the overlapping is evident . Anyway I'm wondering what would be your work if you had used brush overlapping. I cant realized how you can get such a cleaned and pastelled result just in one session.
Do you use a drying medium?
Ciao
Adriano

Yes Claudemir -- Thanks! Laszlo's comments about positioning a mirror so that the subject can see what you're doing at the painting --as a way to keep the sitter interested/animated in expression -- are particularly helpful!

Yes, and the mirror helps a lot getting the likeness!

Hi Claudemir

I found that sometime if you look at a photo edited on the contrary you hardly recognize your face,because we haven't got simmetrical features. I wouldn't be sure about getting likeness through a mirror.

By the way, Lazlo is a very skillful painter, but I prefer Boldini.

It seems to me that if you use overlapping and glazing your oil painting, you get deeper and richer in value.

Ciao
Adriano

Buona sera,

You have to stand back until you can compare both the painting and the sitter in one glance. Doing so, you'll be able to evaluate the effectiveness of your design. Believe me, it works!
Ciao.
