Me too! I was drafting a comment in my head as I looked at the work in progress photos in the link about how I had no idea oil took that long to dry.
OP thank you for creating this and sharing the process and a bit of info on oil painting dry times. I was fascinated from start to finish.
Lovely painting, that person looks like they are very kind and welcoming. But I might be putting som bias on relating them to someone I might recognize I don’t know what you were going for.
May I ask the details of the commission you were provided, was it a photo you worked from?
That’s amazing! Thank you so much for sharing. Thats so cool they like to do speeches. My partner and I are like, “oooh I wonder what kind of speeches they do?” Thank you again for sharing the painting and the information.
