Bazille copy, day 3

Today I only painted on this for two hours. I worked on the head and the hand with the cigar. Then I left early to see the new self-portrait exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery up the street.
See the slideshow of the exhibit.

On looking at this now, I think I need to change the angle of the nostril a little. Same with the top of his head, and his mouth. That will help with the angle of his head. I've unconciously made all of these elements more horizontal than they should be. Click on the picture for a larger view.
