Then I work with smaller brushes that keep getting smaller for the finishing touches. I have never clocked the time I work on a painting, because I am usually working on more than one at a time which is common for oil painters. I work on one like this for four to five hours a day every other day for a couple of weeks, then I concentrate on specific areas for several hours every day for a couple of more weeks. I continue tweaking the painting until it is done. Some can be finished in two months, some take longer depending on the subject matter. Grapes are very time consuming. <BR/>Hope all is well with you.F.Poolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04186742588456172647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737303940337113562.post-71127387691902657012008-10-08T11:50:00.000-07:002008-10-08T11:50:00.000-07:00This is beautiful, how long does it take you to co...This is beautiful, how long does it take you to complete one painting?♥Jennifer♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/14518379135067331113noreply@blogger.com
