Progress Updates!
Step 3 is that I begin painting after the photo has been chosen. I will send you progress updates when the painting is far along enough that I am working on details. I give 6-8 weeks of painting time but in some cases portraits can be finished much sooner.

CLAESSENS BELGIAN LINEN CANVAS
"Linen retains its natural oils, which helps to preserve the fibre's flexibility and stops the canvas from becoming brittle. It is also regarded as having a more “natural” weaved finish than cotton. A variety of textures and weights are available in both rough and smooth finishes." -Windsor and Newton
In my experience I've found that I enjoy working on linen canvas over cotton canvas. It has a natural texture that I prefer and is stronger and more ridged than canvas. Which means over time the linen canvas will not sag and not need to be restretched as soon. For portraits I use the finest texture linen canvas.
