I learned this method from Tony Ryder, as he learned it from Ted Seth Jacobs (who is affilliated with Nelson Shanks' Incaminati school). It's based on the process used by Ingres and David, apparently. Very different from how most of us were taught to paint, I know!

Michele, I meant to respond to this days ago, but must have been distracted before hitting the 'submit reply' button. . .

The painting itself is truly stunning, so beautifully done. Beautiful color, expression and warmth and the embossed chair, too. Wow! I'm amazed to see the in process shot of it... is there essentially a single coat of paint on most of the painting then? The painted part of what you're showing there sure looks as if it could be finished. . . ?

Kudos on all the well-deserved press you're getting too! Great shot of you and several of your paintings in the newspaper article. Masterful painting, masterful marketing. . . Michele, you're going places!

Yes, in many places there is just one coat of paint. Of course, once a section is "done" there are always corrections, so some areas have two or three layers on them.

Michele,

I couldn't wait to see this. I love it when there is an unveiling for you, I just know it is going to be fabulous. Once again, I was not dissappointed.

Super, super job. I am very happy for you.

Congratulations.

Michele, what a lovely portrait this became because of your skill. Heartfelt congratulations, I am proud to know you!

You have officially crossed over to a select few of portrait artist! I hope you drop bread crumbs on the ground for the rest of us to follow!

Bravo! They must have loved this... and side note, you look great and I love the new hair cut!
