Japanese Squares pt1

Placement pt 1
Video sent by klingatron

Just completed the first of the 3 Bar Soba paintings. The video is so you can get the idea of how the build up of the individual squares generates the full image. I am really please with the outcome of this piece and am very excited to be getting on with the other 2 pieces. I can't put a figure to the number of hours this has has so far taken but it doesn't really bother me. Hope you like the edit and the painting. Peace

The Lodown

The story so far: I have been working hard to get the background done for the paintings. I have only done enough for one painting (as i had to recut the pattern) but it's all good cause I'll move these out of the way to do the rest of the backgrounds, then get cracking on the main images. Slowly it's all coming together. Stay tuned.
Peace

The story so far

I got the wood recut for the wooden canvas for the Bar Soba.paintings. As you can see there is a lot of wood. A total of 124 individual pieces of 20 x20 MDF will collectively create 3 paintings. I have now primed the wood ready for painting which will for sure be the quickest part of this job, but I am not complaining as I can't wait to get stuck in and start placing the squares into position to reveal the final pieces. Below is a photo of some of the wood to give you a basic idea of the layout of the wood. I will probably film the process of these paintings, I got 4 weeks to get the job done so I am going to be super busy. Stay tuned
