The start of a HUGE commission. I thought I’ll take you through the process of what happens.
Step 1. Get canvas made up. This one is 2.7 meters long! 
Step 2. Sketch her up! I’m leaving everyone in suspense 
Step 3. 1st layers.....
A woman’s work is never done! Well, I’ve skipped the photos of Step 4 & 5 or else I’ll blow the surprise. This involves painting the top layers of the painting and finishing details and then sealing the artwork.
Step 6 is framing her up! This is very hard on your own when you’re only 5 foot tall 
Step 7. The BIG reveal, the majestic humpback whale. 
This step involves packing him up and sending him on his way to his new Sydney home by art courier. He will hang landscape.
