The charcoal drawing on which this painting is based does not exist anymore!

You may recall my post about this charcoal drawing

that in the end got screwed up while I wanted to paint over it with glazes. Starting around middle of April I worked on it in my studio at the Kunstquartier Wien in Meidling.

After the mishap, I doggedly worked on it as a painting. I basically had to paint over the lost drawing design, and eventually succeeded - not what I had in mind before, but more painterly than originally planned. Detailed process images you find below.

For prints, I just posted it on my Pixels site:

Aside from Fine Art Prints, you find all kinds of merchandise with this image - how about a unique Spiral Notebook:

The Steps

between April 17. And May 17. 2018
the final touch-ups were then done on May 21.

Details

The details of the final step on May 21. 2018 - I decided that this is it, and varnished it. Since it is all in acrylics, varnishing could be done right away once dried.

for the record, this is my avatar on deviantArt, based on a old drawing of which I don't have a clear picture, so it only works for a small size. I've been on deviantArt for over 11 years, and never changed my profile picture.
