I’ve started a new portrait. It began with a fun photo shoot, then we chose the perfect place for the finished canvas, and decided the size of the canvas would be roughly 60” x 60”.

I stretched a 72” square canvas on the wall and sketched out the portrait before blocking in a preliminary background color.
