OK I Think I'm Done...

There's a few bits here that I over-did a little, a few that I'd kinda like to work on a little bit more, but I think the painting is at that stage that I mentioned a couple of posts down. Time to stop. But I'm happy, it actually really looks like my Grandad!

Meanwhile, I need to buy some more paint - this painting is 1m tall, my supplies are getting low!

Painting Grandad

I often find with painting that there's a point I reach part way through the process where I'm tempted to stop. I get to the stage where the essence of the person, object or scene I'm painting has come through enough that it is recognizable as it is. This can often signify a time where you need to slow down and be careful that you don't over work it too.

I am at that point with this painting of my Grandad, but I think I will push forward.

Lots more layering and tidying up to go, but he's starting to show through. Quite funny really!
