Very motivated the very next day (Friday the 13th of October) I tried a different position more close to my mother (Again watching evening news in our living room). I think you can expect to see more of these because It's a great opportunity for me to study human face from life.
In this particular one I was just twice as fast (1,5 hour - yes I was more confident)
Though I had to deal with similar issues from the previous post (terrible light) I have to say that I had a great aid in brushes that I used. Before I moved out from England (beginning of October) I had discovered that lovely county of West Yorkshire is a home for a great company: Rosemary and Co. They have a myriad types of brushes and they can help you to choose just a right type for you.
I ended up with ultimate series witch is quite similar to hog brushes for rough block-ins and with evergreen series for my tiling technique - especially flats and short flats can give you very desirable chiseled edge - You can see from the picture that I'm the fan of chiseled shapes! :-)
Evening news (oil on canvas circa 9x9 inches)
My newly acquired Rosemary brushes (I have about 20 of them but those four I used mainly for this particular painting)
It's a really good idea to invest in great brushes since painting in oils is a hard task enough to start with.
Lots of love you all, Petr
