I've just started painting Jeana. I'm loving every minute of it. It's SO NICE to be painting something that isn't PINK. I have given myself until the end of May to finish it. I've painted this much in two days, so I reckon I'll do it. Isn't she beautiful. I took this photograph 35 years ago. I hope the dark blackish background doesn't cause too many problems when I get to it. My friend doesn't know I'm doing this painting, so part of the pleasure is the anticipation of her surprise. This will be one of the few times I've posted when I haven't had a problem.

Looks good.

Use the other end of your paintbrush to sign into wet paint with a dry, contrasting underlayer (Sgraffito).
Practice and develop a standardised, confident signature that is appropriate for the canvas size.
Initial and surname with optional year is fine, but so to are initials or a readable logo.
Alternately, a rigger is a useful brush to paint a signature.

Get a rubber stamp made with your logo.
Carve your own with soft sculp rubber from the art shop.
I posted something on this stuff a while back.

Soft brush a little linseed oil on the part to be adjusted. Moisten your painting brushes with a little linseed oil, wipe off excess, before picking up paint.
The paint should flow smoothly without picking up the previous layer.

Thanks for sharing, great work! Never fear.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
