Here is another oil sketch. It is by no means perfect but that does not mean this painting is hopeless. The facial features seem out of alignment but I ran out of time to get a better understanding of the proportions. I'll approach the painting like I always do. I won't address any problems directly. I'll just paint and hope the problems will sort themselves out on there own. That might not seem very convincing but it often works. The painting needs a light touch. I leave everything half baked for a while. Nothing needs to be anchored down too concretely. I just want a hint of what is the painting to become.
