I took over a year to finish this commission and ran into problems because of this...the masking would not come off, glue from tape was transferred to the paper etc...Fortunately, I managed to fix most of the problems The painting has a few small resulting flaws, but I hope the client will still be happy with it.
One of these days, I will redo this painting and do it within just a few weeks and not procrastinate the way I did....as I often do for commissions.
What about you? Do you rush to finish commissions, or like me, do you procrastinate?
So glad to see another of your carving paintings - they are TREMENDOUS! Absolutely love all the colors used in them - I'm sure the company loves having these beautiful paintings to represent their work.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Deb, for your support and great encouragement. I appreciate that so much!
DeleteChristiane, you should be very happy with this piece. I, too, dread doing commissions. For me, it is much easier to paint something I envision myself, than painting something requested by another person. It's the passion within me that comes out best in myart.
ReplyDeleteMy latest masking fluid came with a warning to remove within a week's time, so I can imagine the trouble you encountered if weeks had gone by. One of those "oh darn!" moments. You recovered nicely.
I enjoyed your colorful dog and all of your negative paintings.
The great thing about commission, I suppose, is that it forces you sometimes to paint something you would not paint otherwise...and it becomes a learning experience.
DeleteI left the masking fluid on for months, not weeks....so, you can imagine the problems I had.
Thank you as always Mary for your great support and encouragement. I appreciate that so much.
Take care.
