If memory serves about 9 inch tall by something else (I don't have the actual painting anymore to check)
so not that small really. (you know what men are like with measurements )
Oil on board, Started with a tonal under painting then a green transparent glaze, finally in with transparent / opaque colour.

This is a beautiful painting. The colors are great, and it truly looks like Orson Welles. You've captured his expression so well. I truly like this deviation.

I find it good! Looks like you did an underpainting in green tones and painted his face over that.
