copy

A client sometimes wants a bigger version of a painting I already did.
This is fun to do as I don’t have to think up the original idea so that is easy but the hard part comes when I have to recreate what I think they like about the first one. Maybe it is the color. Or the look in her eyes or the splotchy layered variation of undercoat.
Well if it is the first two that is pretty doable.
But what is hard is trying to do again the background layers. My technique is so one of a kind that it is difficult to put together the same combination again to get the look.
So to overcome that, I have to do a painting that is better than the first one.
If I do that they wont mind that the layers are not the same .
So even if I do a copy of an old painting it is always going to be unique. I cannot replicate exactly the first one ever again. No never.
And that is the best thing. You should get your own painting done just for you.
