Portrait of Max Mack - 30" x 40" oil on canvas

Here we go. I will post updates to this one periodically.

The picture shows the 16 x 20 study next to the 30 x 40 canvas. The only thing I changed from the study is the tilt of the body. I had placed him slightly tilted forward in the study but that gave him a slightly pleading priestly look. So I backed off a bit.

I am starting with a very brief but accurate pencil layout. My objective in this piece is to render skin and clothing in a deliberate and economical way, trying to stay away from passage massaging.
