When I start a larger oil painting - but not a sketch or even an elaborate drawing - I am simply shattered and good for nothing after a few hours of doing the first, and most difficult, stage (I use Old Master techniques which involve many layers).
It's simply a matter of very intense concentration of a particularly demanding kind, as far as I can tell.
