Hi michele, i think you finally found the pin that's been pricking my mind what was wrong with the pic! I had other ideas in mind when we were discussing what to show in the background of the portrait, and the airforce personnel insisted they wanted the re-fueling planes (the bomb dropping "birds"!)
I did a composite using the photos they contributed, though personally i would have preferred the other composite. Ah well, i sensed they weren't open to other things, and they were happy with that...
I did the head in one sitting, after removing the first try...all in all i had only about a week to do the piece, so i can't really do a good finish for the work.
But just a thought, can i do a more finished work using bristles only?
I have a mind to buy some sables, and someone in the forum recommended
Trekell brushes which are relatively cheap, for sables. Anyway, that's beside the point.
Maybe i also still haven't realised the full meaning of "finished work"...
