Michele,
Amazing work. Congratulations. Very interesting approach. I have seen Nelson Shanks paint several times but never have I seen him paint as you did....meaning a highly detailed sketch that is painted a little at a time until almost finished before moving to the next area. In fact, what I got from his teaching was the opposite. Im not sure if he changed his style or I was just unaware that he was painting this way.
Did your client sit and pose live at all?
Also, I'm not sure if you are using much texture or not but it appears that you are not and that visible brush strokes are minimal. Do you mind telling me what type, size etc.. brushes you are using? And your medium?
Also, between sessions, when the paint dries and goes flat in areas, do you use retouch varnish or something to make the values easier to see?
Again congratulations on an incredible painting.
Mark
