I used a photograph I took a few weeks ago as reference for this sketch. I am not a fan of using photo reference for my work. It isn't an aesthetic issue, it's that after years working as an illustrator, it feels too much like work used to. I rarely do any preliminary drawing before painting but after a futile start on this picture I had to scrub the panel down and do a quick drawing and it helped quite a bit.
I also used Maroger Medium. I have known of this oil medium for years but only just purchased a tube. I'm unsure of how it should be used but plan on experimenting with it for awhile.

Love this pointer. You really captured his character. Had to laugh at your photo comment.
Wow this is beautiful.
