I painted a similar setup in a two hour period and wasn’t happy with it. An art instructor told me once that if you wipe it off or start it again, guaranteed it will be better the next time. So I set it up under different lighting conditions and on a fresh new linen panel, and sloooooowed down, painting it over two sessions of about 2-3 hours each. And I love it. Persistence pays off!
