Bazille copy, day 2

As promised, here is the copy before I started working on it on Day 2. I had everything blocked in, but the colors and values are not yet right.
Day 2, after working in the morning. I had spent time on the hands, but not the face yet. Sorry it's out of focus - I really should use a tripod to photograph in this low light without a flash.
Here we are at the end of Day 2. It's coming along, but I can see that I don't have the gesture of the pose quite right. M. Maître's head is actually a little more tipped forward, and his hands should be smaller. Click on the image for a larger view, and you can see how mine compares with the original.We'll see how much patience I have to make the changes next week.
