People don't always realize how much preparation goes into a painting. Every detail has to be worked out. For instance, sometimes dozens of drawing studies have to be made for each of the figures in a painting. Below are Draper's studies for those figures way far in the back on the upper right.

My name is Thom Buchanan.
I'm an artist and photographer.
People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years.
I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.
