Over the weekend, I was commissioned to do a custom piece.
This experience is teaching me lots.
I spent time calculating my time, and what I should charge.
I spent some more time doing some well valued research, in order to make sure the client and I were on the same page as to the visual direction.
I spent time buying some of the materials needed to accomplish this project.
I spent time thinking and mulling it over in my head. I even told a few people some of my ideas, to see what their response would be. So far, everyone seems to think it’s a good idea.
Today, I spent some quick moments at the library, and made it a point to get some books that had pictures concerning the subject matter I will have to paint. Book reference is great!
It feels like everything is falling into place.
Today I am taking some pictures, for the main aspect of this project.
After all that, I will start making the drawing which will then be transferred to the final painting surface.
Exciting stuff. I’m finally starting to feel like I’m living like an artist.
Still need to do more artwork weekly, though!
