stencil

painting step by step

so i missed a few photos along the way

but here we go this is something i ve wanted to do for awhile this is the way I paint

first off I do a small rough sketch

then blow it up to the size I want and refine it and do a bigger sketch

after that I take it to the light table and tansfer it to the watercolor paper

once transferred as on the left I take the image and tape it down to a peice of cardboard

and start painting I start with the light colors first yellows and browns

then move on to the reds and blacks with this painting I wasnt sure how I wanted the moon so I left it till the end

I missed photos of painting the backgroung and the anchor

My photo of the finished piece is a bit blurry
but I pretty happy with the way this came out

if you click on the pick of the painting you can see it more clear

the painting is 30.5 inches by 12 inches

I stayed up all night painting this , I was just cleaning up when my wife woke up for work at 6:30in the morrning , she told me i have the crazy look in my eyes.

I get this look when I am up way too late working on art, I also go I bit crazy its like getting realy high with out useing any drugs

nicks dragon fighting octopus

When i first did the consult with Nick I thought wow his arms are too skiny to put a dragon and an octopus on there in so i told no pick one or the other, he agread to one of them (cant remeber which one) then ten minutes later he runs back in my room and goes he wants both I said I try and was a little streesed about it a first but then I started drawn it and it all fell together

most of this is healed

didn't get photos of the front half and the backside photos turned out blurry

I will when he comes in for the healed photos in the next few weeks

and post the whole thing
