The size is 16" x 20", medium is acrylic on canvas. I primed the canvas a light salmon color rather than my typical red or terracotta since it is a light, beachy picture.
Here is what I did yesterday... sketching and underpainting. Pardon the terrible pictures... all I had was my Blackberry! I'll get some better pictures tomorrow in the daylight with the real camera. The colors are much brighter IRL and the Round 2 picture appears very different since it's nighttime and the lighting in the kitchen is poor.

And this is what I did tonight.
I feel like I worked FOREVER on it and there isn't much difference. I think I may break out the palate knife to work on the background, and maybe some gel medium to create some transparent layers. I noticed some proportions are off: the shirt and pants... he's looking a little wide! ;)
I need to work on blending less! I think the palate knife will help in that aspect.
Stay tuned for updates and better pictures!
Oh Bethany, it is just gorgeous!!! Unbelievable. You are so truly talented!!!
