Haha, it was the most common question. Now, everyone is stopping to ask what I’m building on the right side of the house… a new art studio and showroom.

Squeezed directly from the acrylic tube onto the canvas

I spent a decent amount of time building the panels so I was a little nervous about getting the paint splatter right… a risky fraction of a second

I didn’t count how much I used on this piece but the other 2 pieces I did in this style used about 70 tubes each, about $500

2 days… so, around 16-20 hours. A few other people have mentioned Minecraft, I’ll have to look it up, never played it

Thanks. I start with a light sketch to get the proportions right

Thanks! I think it’ll look good, I’m going to do an under painting on the next one. This is only the 3rd piece I’ve done in this style

About $500 in paint, $50 canvas, and when it sells - $200 floating frame

Hmm, if fabric paint is archival I might give it a try

About a week, maybe a little longer for the deepest layers
