I know amazing has already been used Art, but I agree - a stunning piece of realism!Thank you Anthony ;) I'm doing my best AND BEYOND hahahaaa ;) It's because I'm painting MYSELF for a first time ever, lol ;) And on top of that, it is MY FIRST painting with real oils (not Alkyds as I used to), and a very FIRST experience painting on Claybord... So it's 3x FIRST ;) What a heavy challenge on my shoulders, lol ;) 【I just have checked yours paintings - I'm short with words! AMAZING CARS!!!】

It has been fascinating watching your progress, I like the new background. Very fine indeed, looking forward to the finish.Thanks A LOT Lewis for keen words! I went through my post from the beginning... I'm a bit surprised, how did I manage to get this far with this painting ;) I started with simply strokes, blocking in some basics... I have reflection that it's like making a step out of the jungle - straight to New York City hahahaaa ;) Thank you for support my friend...

●The first claybord experiment is FINISHED.
-Ampersand Claybord A3 size.
- Winsor&Newton Alkyd oils / for base layers, underpainting.
- Michael Harding oils / everything else.
Please don't put too much attention to it, just yet.
The oils did sink, the shadows, colours and value is slightly off at the moment.
I will varnish it after a week time, with Retouching Varnish - it should bring the whole painting back to glossy, rich stage, as oils should look, so the total effect is suppose to be improved, not as dull ...
This is just freshly taken photo of the finished piece.
I hope you understand I was hurry up to share my efforts straight away ;)
I will update it once is varnished, and better looking (I hope!).
Thank you for following, and keen support throughout.
