Going BIG!


 Ever wonder how artists make something small scale up?


It starts with a ruler
In this case, a 24" ruler.


I have made the mistake of not gridding everything out before and it takes a lot of work to fix.
Taking the few minutes to do this, REALLY is best.


TA-DA!
Take the time to do this.
Make sure you grid out the smaller reference too!
I am keeping the smaller painting nearby for colour references 
(as you can see, they don't match up with the photocopy above it)



That is how it starts!

Tulips

This is one of my favorite paintings. Nobody has bought it yet. It's just 8"x8" but it has so much presence. I think its time that it goes to a nice home.

Happy New Year!

Another thank you to those of you who supported me last year.  It was a great year and I learned a lot.  Here's to hoping that this upcoming year will be just as good, if not better. Maybe I'll even use a different colour other than pink.
