Las Manos

This tutorial takes you through the creation of 'Las Manos' ('The Hands'), a realistic oil painting depicting a touching moment between three hands - touching in all senses of the word. 'Las Manos' measures 50cm by 60cm and took 6 days to complete. At the time of its creation I was reading a biography of Diego Velazquez, whose iconic painting 'Las Meninas' may or may not have influenced my title. Enjoy ;)
