this alla prima exercise does not block in first any underpainting
of masses, but from the get go...each stroke laid is designed to
be a finishing stroke. A brushstroke laid, a brushstroke stayed.
I had the feeling today I really could paint this same fella, same
pose about three or four more times until I could arrive at a
Sargent or S. Burdick-like portrait brevity with my brushwork.
...but, I think its a fairly decent painting for 10"x 8"...
