Building a loose but accurate portrait - Nicolas Cage (part1)

So I get asked a lot how I paint my portraits so loosely or painterly and still have it come out looking like the person so I thought I would demonstrate how I paint one of these loose portraits. As always please comment with any questions or requests.
