Crunch Time

Completed painting of Marylin's portrait
It's been a busy week, but I finally finished the painting. It has taken about 40 hours (or about 80 tv episodes on Netflix) to paint. But it was time well spent, I learned a lot; improved my technique of painting hair; discovered that just because both tubes of paint say "Payne's grey" doesn't mean they are the same color...
I finished painting this bad dog just in time because I had to hang it in the art show while the edges were still drying! Yipes!



Detail shot of hand
detail of neck stump, eeeww

detail of the billowing hair
All in all, I think this portrait turned out well and it's a good likeness of Marylin.
