Oil sketch of Clive 2

This is a second study of Clive, painted from life in just over two hours. It did not go as smoothly as the first study, as I seemed to fight with the proportions at the start and chased them all the way to the finish. Once I decide on the size I want the head to be within a composition I try to keep to it but for some reason I kept going slightly bigger. It becomes a struggle if you have drawing issues right through the painting process. I got something of him by the end of the session but not without trouble and strife....
