Start to Finish

The Process of Paper Painting
This week I am working on a very special commission. A friend and fan of my work has commissioned me to create a collage that she is giving to herself, for her birthday. What better way to ensure the perfect gift?

A few weeks ago she came to my studio and posed for me and this past weekend I finalized the sketch (shown here) and transferred it to wood panel.

My plan is to take photos throughout the process and post them to the blog in an attempt to answer some of the questions people often ask about my work and how it is created.

The next step is the underpainting, but the first step is the drawing.
