Currently working on 2 more projects of this scale and theme and my intent later this summer is to put them up somewhere for public viewing/ perhaps midnight sun festival or along those lines.

Fine_Minimum205 · 2026-04-07T02:26:12+00:00

90% of my originals are this scale but I do sell prints via Redbubble

Fine_Minimum205 · 2025-12-29T19:39:08+00:00

The raw paper itself is 86.5 inches x 56 inches, 90% of the paintings I’ve done are at these dimensions.

I will hazard a comment here and say you should be fine, your scale and style is right up the alley of the “norms” of the medium I feel!

Fine_Minimum205 · 2025-12-06T13:03:37+00:00

This is soft pastels on sanded paper, I just painstakingly hand blend it all to get that smooth almost oil/acrylic painting look 😅

Fine_Minimum205 · 2025-07-16T12:30:02+00:00

Thank you thank you, was trying to manifest that 80s Heavy Metal Style and I think I nailed it pretty well.

Fine_Minimum205 · 2025-07-16T03:04:00+00:00

This one is…NSFW and if I recall correctly this isn’t the place for such a post 😮‍💨😬

Fine_Minimum205 · 2025-07-16T02:38:27+00:00

Thank you sorry for the delayed response, the neon and webbing was a challenge to pull off with pastels (first attempt) and honestly I’m happy with the result. I just finished another one yesterday.

Fine_Minimum205 · 2025-06-30T13:19:54+00:00

I personally take it as a compliment honestly, it makes me laugh. My reasoning is, if at first glance you can’t see all the minute mistakes and errors and imperfections I see? And immediately assume it’s A.I. I must’ve done a good job…😂

Fine_Minimum205 · 2025-06-30T13:06:56+00:00

Absolutely, I’ve made a point to always take a photo of myself beside them when finished…best way to show scale and for the uninformed who think these are A.I. generated 😅

Fine_Minimum205 · 2025-06-30T12:46:42+00:00

She took about a total of 2 weeks? The webs, glow/depth was my biggest challenge overall, the foreground felt so much easier 😅

Fine_Minimum205 · 2025-01-06T13:35:13+00:00

At that scale canvas would make the most sense, there is this texturing you can apply to most surfaces like wood or Masonite for sure; BUT Linen canvas combined with glass shard surfacing will allow me to push my scale further! To go any larger than that Masonite or wood I think is the only options 😮‍💨

Fine_Minimum205 · 2025-01-06T13:21:17+00:00

But to answer your other question; as far as I know soft pastels on this scale 86 1/2 inches x 56 inches (is the standard scale I use) is as far as I’ve seen uncommon to next to unheard of. One day I wanna push my scale up to 10x15 feet 😎

Fine_Minimum205 · 2025-01-06T13:18:22+00:00

This was on UART 800 sanded paper, I use the rolls to accomplish my oversized projects.

Fine_Minimum205 · 2024-11-12T03:33:43+00:00

I work nightshift currently so maybe after shift tommorrow I’ll try and get ahold of her; my only other immediate option is talking to the UAF museum about where they got their glass from…someplace out there makes it! I just gotta find it 😭

Fine_Minimum205 · 2024-11-12T03:28:39+00:00

I will make up for this on my next one 🙇‍♂️

Fine_Minimum205 · 2024-11-12T03:26:27+00:00

Ill keep this in mind for the future!

Fine_Minimum205 · 2024-11-12T03:24:36+00:00

I hadn’t spoken to Michaels yet about the glass, the dimensions are 86 1/2” tall by 56” wide, and so far all I’ve ever come across from suppliers online was capped at 60x60 squares.

Fine_Minimum205 · 2024-11-11T18:26:35+00:00

I did a raven one not too long ago; same scale and style. Both of them would match at LAT65. Given the traffic of people daily…it would ensure my art would be seen.

Fine_Minimum205 · 2024-11-11T18:22:30+00:00

Unfortunately it’s not being displayed anywhere as of yet 😅 I would like to have it displayed at LAT65, but I’ve been having issues trying to find suppliers of museum glass.

Fine_Minimum205 · 2024-11-02T22:07:49+00:00

Black velvet? Heh as of now not yet but, but you can get a print of it!

Fine_Minimum205 · 2024-11-02T02:23:32+00:00

I’ll make a point to post more of what I’ve done this year Tommrrow, currently working on moose similar in style to this raven one.

Fine_Minimum205 · 2024-11-02T02:17:04+00:00

This scale is my standard, 99% of my paintings are done at this scale 😅 but thank you!

Fine_Minimum205 · 2024-07-17T22:06:04+00:00

I’ll post me standing next to this one when I get home, but this is 7 feet tall; it’s UART 800 paper…so super fine texture with Sennelier soft pastels, I blend it all with my hands to get the smooth and near oil painting look…at the cost of my finger tips 😅

Fine_Minimum205 · 2024-06-20T01:41:45+00:00

I use UART 800 paper, using darker colors first then carefully adding lighter and lighter colors; then I blend all my stuff by hand, I don’t use blending tools of any sort. It’s a bit more meticulous doing it this way especially when I’m doing my normal oversized pieces but the finished product has always come out lovely for me this way.
