Finishing touches in an oil portrait painting. By Ben Lustenhouwer

We are now at the point that we can hang the gardens. And if you see 100, make 10. If you see 10, make 1. Because the fun is in that feeling. Some of these... I follow the flow of the hairs. But it's tricky because now we have seen them and we are trying to make them. There is a risk that it ends up in a bunch of nails. And it is soft hair that catches the light. Red and some darker ones because there are more and I don't want them also to be so light. So if you explain everything you see, then you will end up with a copy of the photograph. And you must end up with your painting. And the risk of painting pornography is that you are so close to the picture. There is a temptation to repeat everything you see. But the power is in your translation of the photograph.
