24x12 inches
oil on gallery canvas
My previous study (SF life life style) was supposed to be the study for this larger painting, in the end it was not!

So what happened?
The study was too large, it took me way too long to paint and by the time I was done with it the idea of painting the same thing again, just on a larger scale was not very attractive.
So I decided to change skateboard (hubby bass more than one! lucky me!LOL) , to change shoes , and to change position and background.
New Sketch and new study (SMALL AND QUICK!!) lesson learnt :)
Picture of the actual set up and of the work in progress
What makes this painting special is that I build the canvas my self :) with the help of my instructor at the Academy.
1st step: putting tougher the 4 stretching bars
2nd step: wrapping the canvas around
3rd step: stapling the canvas
4th step: painting with gesso.
5 th step: PAINTING!!
Taking the painting to school today to get a feedback from my teacher, still one week to complete this assignment!!!
Will probably work some more on the jeans…they were more difficult than expected to paint!
Happy Friday!!
