The painting of Christopher is now finished. I shall look at it for a couple of months and make adjustments if they present themselves. When I have been intimately involved in a painting over the process I sometimes miss minor defects which need correcting. Once this process has been done and the painting completely dry, I shall varnish it with a matt varnish and then frame it. This painting is not for sale, as it is a personal project, but it has given me much satisfaction and I have learned much ablut the techniques I need to develop. My next project is with watercolour, but I am also planning my next oil.
