Just to add onto my previous post regarding the watercolor, that painting (ie the watercolor) was the second painting that I did from my source sketch, which was quite comprehensive. Here is the oil painting that I did from the sketch. I will go more into my methodology later. (I do paintings in lots of different ways depending upon my mood, the subject matter and the medium.) This painting I would not have done, but it was specifically requested by someone. So I did it for him and, possibly, to be put on the wall of his hair salon in Toronto. It is 30" by 40", oil on canvas. The size makes a difference when you see it in real. As well, lost in the photographic reproduction (and this was the case with the watercolor as well) are the color nuancing effects of the layering. (You can see that I made changes to the composition when I did the watercolor.) I have not shown it to him yet and, right now, I am just kind of looking at it, trying to figure out if and where it needs touch-ups.
