At The Dallas Aquarium
or why you should stop playing with your smartphone and pay attention
So this is the real thing, I brought a HUGE canvas, it’s 2 meter by 1,5 meter. That’s 80” by 60” in inches.
I usually start of with a grisaille base painting.
At the Dallas Aquarium sketch
For lack of an easel, (my stuff had not arrived yet) I hung the painting on the wall. Not ideal, but it worked. I had different sizes of steps to reach different parts of the canvas. Luckily I didn’t fall off any of them, although there have been some close calls! Unlike the water color sketch I now started out with working on the Water world. This is because oil paint is a different medium, so requires a different approach. I really wanted the colors to stand out, and of course the foreground had to stand out…
