What’s left:
- the tab at the top
- fix the left rim
- missing characters on the bottom half

There’s a reason why John Singer Sargent works large, these tiny facial features are hard 😆 Note to self, life sized or gtfo… also fine grained canvas and not my landscape roll 🫠

The interesting thing about painting, often time with value compression, you don’t make something look darker by adding more dark colors, you make its surrounding lighter. But when to do what is what makes a master, a master… (which I am not yet unfortunately 🥲)

Maybe that’s a sign of growth where i can actually see how much more work there is left to do?

Close up: ok yeah i need to paint bigger 😅
