This painting is taking forever, mainly because of it's drying time. I have used titanium beige on the face and it's really thick. In fact I squeezed it straight out of the tube and on to the canvas. I have also put another layer of the green on and edged the black in white to give it the appearance of coming away from the wall. The numbers will not go on until the very last but they will be there albeit falling all over the place. The only other thing I did today was paint a canvas white, why? Sheer frustration again!
