28 x 48 inches Acrylics on plywood.
I have started making background for advertising signs for a local Surfchool. At about 2ft x 4ft this is the smallest one. The largest one will be 8ft x 4ft. Can't wait to see them up at the school
I was asked to do a mural recently so I decided to practice a bit for it. Having never worked with acrylic paint on a larger scale (that is to say over 10inches by 10) I thought I'd grab a large piece of plywood and see what comes out.
I had this large wardrobe back in the shed that I was using as a table for my tools and thought it'd be perfect for it. Should I screw up I could always put it back in the shed.
Looks like it turned out much better than I thought.

It's 4 ft by 3ft and now sits nicely on the wall of the living room.

The style & techniques I used here are different from what I normally do and is inspired from Ashton Howard's fantastic work and not even close to his mastery of the brush.

This is an old board i had. A small single fin fish (oh yeah). Top coated so it can be waxed and surfed. she's already been back in the water since.
She's coming with me at the Lahinch Longboard comp this weekend for display if anyone wants to have a look at it.
