Problem with hands




Hello all.

This is a very quick portrait which was started a couple of months ago and then abandoned when I got to the hands. I hate hands!

Anyway, I have recently landed a very important commission which unfortunately is likely to include his hands.

As hands are a weakness of mine I picked up this abandoned painting and worked on the hands this morning. Do they look believable? Is there too much oxide colour? Should I give them more detail?

There are rings on the fingers which I will add when dry, and after I have received your comments (if any).

Please ignore the chair, curtain and parts of the dress as they are not finished yet. However, any comments on how to improve it will be gratefully received.

Thank you all.

Barbara
