No more alla prima, I had to wait some days to make the colors dry. Also as from the magazine I could not figure out the color shifts, I went to Martinez site to see the original, and in this way I was able to finish the portrait.

see more photos of the process on http://realpainter.blogspot.com/2011/10/master-copy-my-way.html

I really enjoy the November issue with great realist artists and the two step by step exercises

I am doing a copy of Martinez self-portrait, have cropped the image to fit 30x40cm canvas.

I've done the sketch directly from the magazine, but as I have seen some inaccuracy, I have printed it out in order to be able to see well proportions .

I use alla prima method, in this moment the situation is this:

I'll post other images as I go on
