About This Piece
This was the first really Large painting I did. I wanted to test myself and see what gaps I had in my skill. Turns out a lot because I repainted a lot of this. This was a big learning lesson for me even though I do enjoy how it came out I know what I can do better next time. The biggest lesson I learned was that I should always start small and then scale up. I end up wasting too much paint going directly to the large canvas
Work in progress photos coming soon!
