Oil painting lesson with Gregory Smith

The fourth session. 

I noticed the front section was too small, so I enlarged it. 

The handle of the brush on the right was too high, so I lowered it. 

These corrections took a long time. 

Greg told me that the body was not rounded enough, so I emphasised it’s curve. 

I also reworked the background and shadows. 

It’s getting there. I’ll finish it next week. 

Work in progress. 16x20 in.
