Well after about 4 hours work I have decided to call it a day. I have just about exhausted my artistic powers, such as they are, for one day. David is slowly coming together and I have to say it is shaping up really well. Of course I’m now facing a dilemma – just how much detail should I include before I consider the painting complete? I have no answer to this question and I suspect I won’t have until I’ve finished the work but it is an interesting one as Michelangelo has included virtual every visible vein and tendon so am I true to this or should just suggest with a slight tonal shift. I suspect I may well find answer somewhere between the two or perhaps I may well create two final paintings – I’m after all using a digital medium so I should use that to me advantage.
Interesting times.
