This is the question I get often and for good reason. I tend to be a perfectionist and therefore...sslloooww... I've heard it said that Picasso, when asked when he'd be through with a painting said, "when I'm finished." Well, I do have a method. I've been working on Sam & Alex for almost 5 months now and it's very close to being finished. What I do at this point is paint for 3 hours, put the portrait on my mantle and look at it as I go through the next day until the next night and another 3 hours of painting. I try to fix all the mistakes I see in those 24 hours. When I don't see anything to fix...it's finished.When will the portrait be finished?
