What the hell am I talking about? Well. A few months ago a relative asked me if I could do a painting on canvas for her private psychiatry office and of course I agreed. No, I don't regret it at all or anything, I can't wait to start working on it actually! The thing is, I thought it'd be like.. uhm, let's see the picture first!
You see how BIG it is? D: I thought that I'm gonna be working on something half the size, but it's.. it's.. TWO HALVES of what I was thinking, it's so, so huge! I have never worked on anything that huge.. You can see the normal A4 size I'm comfy with. :D That's for comparison.
I have somewhat thought of what I will paint, but with oil paints.. it's a bit tricky. I've done a couple of A4 canvas oil painting ~2 years ago, but in this scale, it's a whole different thing. Oh, God, if you're out there GIVE ME STRENGTH! :D
I don't have that much paints or that big brushes anyway, I guess there's gonna be some shopping ahead. ^^
I have a couple of more pics to show today, let's see~

| This is something that I'll never finish or work on again. When it's not working.. it just is not working. |
 |
| I was brainstorming on what to put on the huge canvas, I have to be careful not to put something too sad or too happy, because it's a psychiatry office and I don't want for the painting to scream louder then the patients emotions. I need to paint something light and inspiring~ |
 |
| And my second Moleskine sketchbook arrived recently, it's pocket sized and the paper is for sketching and drawing this time [the other one I got was for watercolours]. |
That's it for now~ I gotta go get breakfast now. =D
Take care sweethearts and thank you for the kind words that you've been posting. ♥
You're up to the challenge of that big canvas! :) Just be sure to mix plenty of paint, when making your colors.
ReplyDeleteYes! :]

ReplyDeleteLovely blog. good luck to you!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the white canvas will soon be rich of colours. I always love to draw the first brush stroke. You just have to bring yourself to do it :-) Beautiful blog! I follow you.
ReplyDeletegood luck on that! I'm USELESS at painting or drawing on a large scale. I'm far better at working on smaller scales like A3 because I get to pay attention on details and it doesn't come as a headache!
ReplyDeleteI really like your drawings. They're AWESOME. I can't draw people for nuts. Only still life.

Hey! I simply had to let you know that your drawings are amazing! You should totally pursue this talent :-)
ReplyDeleteHave strength!! Attack the canvas like a worthy opponent! Nothing is too big or too small for a creative artist to handle! I have faith in you!
ReplyDeleteHi there
ReplyDeleteI found your blog really fun to ready. I am an older lady who is just learning about the blog stratosphere and I am having a fantastic time. I have now started my own blog and will finally get serious about that novel I have had in my head. So thank you all you creative bloggers out there - you are inspiring:):)

ReplyDeleteBE BRAVE MY FRIEND!
ReplyDeleteI know that you can do it!
By the way, I'm thinking of doing a painting in a large scale also.
But yeah, that's just too big of a canvas to start with, I agree.
BUT I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!
I love your "sprite" drawings. I think your art will translate well to that size canvas - I hope you won't let it intimidate you.
ReplyDeleteWould you please sketch a little something for my blog?

I would really appreciate it - it would add some levity :)
I had to have a peek at your blog simply because of your unusual name (and for the fact that my niece is also called Arla).
ReplyDeleteBut, is was certainly a worthwhile visit, you are very talented :)
The enigmatic, masked blogger
I just found you on Blog of Note. I'm already a fan of your work! You really have a unique style! I'm the opposite of you...I have a hard time drawing small...I like the big canvas. I'm sure you'll have fun once you start! You're really inspiring me to finish my drawing...which I hope to paint!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is amazing!:) Keep up the good work!:) I know how you must be feeling.. In an almost similar situation right now. But trust your instincts and you'll do just okay.. Cheers!:)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for doing this blog. Seeing your work is an inspiration.To be able to go to canvas that big Iknow must be nerve racking,I helped designs large sets for theater in high school and it can rattle you. I am trying to draw again and just have not it seems had the time our energy to,being out of work and taking care of an extremely ill cat. after seeing your blog and what you have done has given me a kick in the butt boost i think was called for.
